I'm posting these for new member "oldgoaly"

Thanks Barry for posting my pics, as you can see I have a couple of oldies, one is a Wayne model 55 or 60? I purchased this one about 3-4 years ago from a avid collector in central Illinois. The other is a clockface St.Louis pump which I bought 20+ years ago at a farm sale. My girl friend now wife wouldn't let me buy the nice visible gas pump with a 150 gals of good gas for 150$. Yep gas was a buck a gallon back then, so when this one came up I started the bidding out at 2$ yes "TWO BUCKS" people were stunned and the auctioneer was happy to get 2$ for that scrap metal. She did buy me a visible pump (for more than 150$ I'll bet) So if you know what model the St.Louis pump is I'd like to know! How did I find this website and what took me so long???? Well did a search for "oil can displays" looking for ideas to put oil cans up in my workshop, so if you have some ideas.....
I'm located 20 miles east of St.Louis in Illinois, have been in the HVAC business for almost 30yrs, I need to get 2 knees and one shoulder replaced fairly soon, I've worn them out playing hockey and baseball, oh and the hard work!!!! I still do a little sheet metal restoration work, if you have seen "oldgoaly" nickname other places that's me. Ok getting long winded....<grin>
Take care! tt

Wecome Goaly!
Glad you found the site! Take advantage of all the posts by searching the "search" box on the middle of the page. There are many topics! You have some nice pumps there! Going to restore them?
I am in Evansville, IN which is a few miles east of you. Ever get over this way let me know.
Again Welcome!
John

John, I live right off I-64, if your this way stop by! Keith Kinney who is into Hercules engines was here last week from Evansville. I've been a searching and reading, wife has asked what are you looking at cause I've been real quiet.....
Dick, Thanks for the info on the St.Louis, I had sent Jack Sim's an email the other day asking if he had info in his book. I like the style of the Wayne, I have some antique clock radios, one of the Westinghouse's is similar in style to the Wayne.

Thanks guys for the welcome! tt

a big welcome from quincy ma, right on the southern broader of boston home of 2 ex presidents,and no vintage oil and gas stuff, lol.

Welcome to Oldgas!!!!!!! Looks Like you got yourself a couple nice pumps. I recommend that you pick up a Copy of one of Jack Sim's Gas Pump Identifaction Books, it is a Handy tool to have.

welcome to the old gasser`s site~!!!!! post pictures,, just jump in in and post on the different topics... always glad to have new members...

Thanks for the nice welcome, here is the pump my wife bought cause she was tired of hearing me complaining about that 150$ visible pump with good gas, that worked.... Her and the boy are scraping and painting the building, 100' by 40' that's allot of painting. tt

That's a nice WAYNE 519 w/ all the stops. Don't find that too often anymore. Someone removed the gate valve @ bottom of cylinder, but they are not that hard to find.
Nice handle you have on the Barn door also.
Get those replacements done so you can get to work on these pump !

Thanks Dick, I was thinking it was a Wayne, I have some of the gas globe/pump books, I haven't looked at them in years. While I'm playing show and tell here is a project that I need to get to....(like so many others) My 33 Chevy Gas truck, The tank is a Butler I believe, I have a real nice Col-Tex sign with the deer on it, very colorful sign, I do believe that will be the colors of the truck.



As you can see there are a few more projects in the backround, the 65 Mustang fastback is the boy's next project.
Take care! tt

Sure Glad he's painting the barn & not me, although I do need some work !
