By chance does anyone have any old original milkglass that fits a Tokheim 36B ? The pieces were either 5 by 12 5/8 or 5 by 10 1/8. More than likely, they would have no advertising on them. If someone has a a piece of old milkglass thats bigger than that, I could cut it down to fit. Thanks--KEVIN

I have 2 pieces that came with the 36B porcelain pump that I bought and from the looks of the stains on the glass, I'd say they were around for a really, really long time. Since the pump had the logo on the panels, maybe they didn't feel the need to advertise on the top panels. Globe above it was probably enough? Anyway, the pump came with it and I'm looking for more but it doesn't sound good--Huh!

Look for someone that does Stained/leaded glass, they might be able to order some.

I am sure you could have a Glass Shop cut you some New Frosted Glass for your pump.

Looks different than milkglass Jason. I could have T-way make any of that up but I'm going for the Original look and I believe that this pump came new with plain milkglass installed. Trivial point but one that I want to follow. Hopefully I find some!

Thanks Joey--I'll check into it. DB had the same advice, I just have to find a stained glass person in this area.

George--Were they milkglass or just frosted glass? Milkglass will usually have a rough texture on one side.

I frost my own glass....frosted glass will have a little rough feel on the side it was frosted. unless it's frosted on both sides. I do this for some of the area glass companies since it is a special order and the cost....not much of a demand for it anymore....most customers are going with obsured glass now.
