Also great to see people just dont collect restored beauty queens. I was wondering the other day why we don't have a "show your garage thread" Mainly focused on Oilzum, Jenney, Harris Oil items & original paint gas pumps.

I'll tell you what (as a favor), I will take a few off your hands all you have to do is ship them to San Antonio and that will take care of your problem. LOL - VERY nice collection.

I will extend my offer to me buying my own airline ticket and I will take those two old gas guzzlers off your hands and drive them back to San Antonio. Obvisously my original offer still stands and you can just load the pumps in the back of the truck(s). Anyway, back to reality - those are things of beauty you have an outstanding collection. I love the '56!!! Thanks for sharing.

I got burnt out on my truck hobby. The nice green one was the last to go. The sale of it is what got the Erie 53 and Wayne 50 (as well as some other things) into the collection. The Signal pump with no ad glass is a Bennett 371, looks the same as a 541. I likeShell
