The other night I received a phone call out of the blue from someone who I didn't know about a couple "hand pumped gas pumps" for sale. So yesterday I went to see what he had for sale and I was shocked with what I found. He took me to a shed and opened the door and I saw a whole corner of the shed filled with visible gas pumps and then he began to uncover globes which were just layed on shelves in the garage and in the house. This was too big of a haul for me so I called another old gasser Keithia to help me. We ended up buying 4 visibles and 9 globes at a good price. We didn't get anything rare but it was a lot of fun. I didn't get pictures of the pumps but here are some of the globes.

Your just teasing us with the picture of the globes so we'll hang onto our seats and wait for a picture of the BIG stuff! Nice looking globes, anxious to see more.

Hi racecop,
Really nice,particularly the way you got them. I got some of my best stuff from total strangers who came in,saw what I am doing,and said "I've got something you might want".That's one of the things I love about the hobby;total strangers who appreciate what we are doing and offer to help.
Thank you for telling the story.

 Ok here is the rest of the the haul. We got 2 Wayne 615's, one Wayne 515, and a G&B T-176. The G&B and one of the 615's are super nice complete pumps. The other two are missing the cylinders but otherwise are nice pumps also. The dome tops missing on the two Wayne we have but I have not put them back on yet.

Very nice score for sure. But share with me and us! How is it he called you 'out of the blue'??
Where did he,they, get your name. Inquiring minds NEED to know.
