Greetings all,

My Dad recently purchased this gas pump at a local auction and was considering restoring it, at least cosmetically, to display it in front of his garage. He is not very net savy and asked me if I could please find somewhere on the net that might be able to tell him something about his find. From the looks of this forum I think I found the PLACE!

Here are some images of the pump as it stand right now. I would be forever greatful if you all could give me an idea as to who made this, when was it made and other general information about it. Are there other examples of it on the net somewhere restored? I can't seem to find a single photo of a similiar pump anywhere!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Are there any sources for reproduction parts for these pumps? My Dad would like to at least make it presentable, it doesn't need to function.

Should be able to buy an Original Banana Nozzle w/ hook [watch ebay], Scobby might have Repo faces.
Finding an original Cotton covered hose will be expensive. Repo's are Nylon covered & will yellow with time, go with a Black Rubber hose.
