Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion Cities Service Bennett 1066 pump Color question

We are trying to restore this pump to original (its been painted over numerous time... it was even a pump for the post office for a while) When we took off the spears and sight glass we saw the top had been green and the face white so we were planning on going with that paint scheme, then we pulled off the bennett label and found red with a white stripe. Did Cities Service have tri colored pumps? Any info or pictures would be GREATLY appreciated. One of the sight glasses had the red logo on it and the other broken sight glass had a kelly green logo so i guess its possible. Does anyone know anywhere we could get a replacement Citie Service glass?

Cities Service used a green and white design for regular grade (Milemaster), red and white for premium (Super 5D), and yellow and white for their super premium (100+) with changes in the color arrangement about 1960. Send me your email address and I can send you a photo, but I can't seem to be able to upload photos to oldgas.
