STATION/LIGHTER BONNET HAS A BRASS ID TAG,IT IS NOT A "WAYNE LIGHTER" SELLER FORGOT THE BRAND, IS $450. A FAIR PRICE TO PAY? LIGHTER ONLY /NOT THE PUMP!

I would not pay 450 for that lighter. Save your money and buy the real deal.


FREEDOM oil items wanted.

If you want it, get it. There is no way its actually worth that kind of money. All you have is the bonnet and harp, value a hundred an something. The rest is cheesy, in my opinion

Made by REVERE.
They also offered one that went thru a metal Canteen Globe body w/ 2 light bulbs inside the body.

hey thanks a million fellas,im really glad i threw this out there now,my 1st thoughts were "BUY IT" its a deal!I checked the book & it did not look like the wayne version,so i called the seller & he told me it dose have a ID tag "BRASS"but it was not a wayne! anyways, I like it ,and its really the 1st time i have had a shot at one,so the comments have helped alot as far as what i offer on it!

So was this made specifically for w60 "BY REVERE" or would this have been attached to whatever the station owner put it on.....like a generic lighter for any ol pumps? maybe a cheaper lighting option? Would this be correct if i do get it,as far as the pump its on a "WAYNE 60",or is this supposed to be on another type of pump? thanks again fellas,have been tons of help on this one!

Would be used where buyer wanted/needed the extra lighting.

...where the ring meets the conduit looks different in DB's pic, than on the pump photo...


Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

I see what your saying ,it almost looks as if the conduit slides into a collar at the base of the ring,or threads into a collar "multi piece"????

I ran across this picture and when doing some research I ran across this old thread. Just a little confirmation that these type station lighters did exist.
Although, the connection between the pipe and the ring does look a little different from the OP's version.
