Hello All!
My wife Hazel and I found these amongst a large garage sale collection, and now we are hooked!
Let the restoration begin!
I am just not sure what the red one is....

Sorry, forgot to say the red one is marked "Wayne" an the face. No price indicators, just number of gallons.
I will need parts to complete the Bennet though...

Welcome to oldgas ! Keep a close eye on those two gas pumps. They're kind of like rabbits........they tend to multiply fast.
I see a larger garage in your future.

Jack, I found your website and this AFTER we bought the pumps. We just thought they would go with our car. (avatar) its a 1940 chevy sedan named Lucille. Thanks for the help, we are just starting and have a long way to go. sometimes it's not the destination, but getting there that's the most fun...

I got both pumps for $300.
Bad? Good?
I really was not thinking of value when i bought them, just how they would look when done.

colder & wetter than normal....extra yukky I think we have set records in rain and # of below freezing days. &%$#(!)&*(^)*** jet stream!!!! I don't have any extra cores I can sell right now, but if you buy one and want it rebuilt, have them send it directly to me. Normal price is $150.00 I am only able to rebuild the totalizer if it has good readable wheels to start with... that is the small unit w/ the two small banks of wheels in the center of the big wheels. This one has NOS blinders, I normally have to paint them due to pitting.

I'll let the other guys weigh in on "good or bad";IMO it all depends on the condition of the rest of the pump that we can't see.
As you get into your restoration project,I have something that may help you;a set of real porcelain face plates (they come in sets)that are in almost perfect condition.I will point out that you can buy repop face plates for less than I'm willing to sell these for.
Where are you in Ariz?Always great to see more from the Southwest!!

Leave this site now, Don't look back, drop the pumps off at the dump and you might have a chance to survive "The Great Pump Takeover". If not have fun and remember you can always keep telling your wife what I say to mine, "Honey they're investments".

Welcome Aboard. Did I hear fire hydrant? One showed up at my house the other day also. That makes 5 or 6 around here. 1979 Clow and I just put a gold spray can color on it. It is triangle in shape.

If not have fun and remember you can always keep telling your wife what I say to mine, "Honey they're investments". Actually, it's my wife telling me.......... Heck, if it means I get to play with power tools, I'm all for it...
