It was made by "The Tokheim Co." of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. It appears to have the wrong handle and is missing the lower sheet metal cover.
They did not use light shades. Very collectible pump in my opinion.
Let me know if you need color photo copies of the original sales literature.

The 201 is shown on page 258 of my Revised book. The pump marked 101 should be marked 201 and the next pump marked 110 should be marked 101.
It is generally agreed upon that the visible pump was first made in 1917 by the Guarantee Liquid Measure Co. (commonly called the Fry).
The 201 Tokheim was introduced around 1924.
As Ron stated, the pump was not made by the Tokehim Tank & Pump Co. of Ft. Wayne, IN, but by the Tokheim Co. of Cedar Rapids, IA. Very few were made.

Mine has plugs where the lights come out of the top. Also the top should hinge open with a wing nut. Handle is round with a round black ball on end of handle. I'll have to look at the base as i don't remember what is down there. I'll let you know. Chad
Looking for Tydol-Veedol-Flying A items, especially globes.
