It's a Wayne 60 or 866 door, like the last photo in the listing shows. These were specially made for these Atlantic pumps and are unique to them. Not really a "pump plate" in my opinion, more like a pump part, lol. I'm pretty sure they have never been reproduced.

Atlantic had about six different variations of doors used on wide and narrow body Wayne 60's and 866's. The narrow body versions that I have seen use the "key" method to attach to the door, my wide body Atlantic Ethyl uses the hinge style like the one on Ebay. Brady

I have never seen a stengthening bracket on any of the Atlantic pump doors. As heavy as they are, I am sure they are not needed. Brady

Yes they did.According to available reference books they were introduced in 1932 with limited use after 1936.They are heavy porcelain and as noted have no need for braces like some of the later hinged doors.I have a matched,same pump set of the doors with the Atlantic vertically down the middle with verticle stripes.No,they are not for sale.

In general are they expensive. I'm trying to find some like that or the ones that say atlantic at the top and all white at the bottom.

There are lots of these doors out there, I have seen prices all over the place. Naturally condition is everything, I still regret not buying an Atlantic Ethyl (my favorite) in excellent condition for $300, I bought a pair in fair condition for $275. There was a PIC a few years ago where someone used a repop steel door, painted it red and applied the decals that are for sale now and he painted the stripes and it really turned out nice. Brady
