Thanks for the tip.. saw the Flying A globe on Mike Slama's website and think it is a perfect match. Glass globe and not a cheapy plastic one...Flying A globe is outlined in the same shade of green! Plus it is from that period and they are both west coast! Pump is from the west coast division of Tokheim and the Flying A gas company is from the bay area if I am not mistaken. Keeping it true to its roots! This is the route I am going to take! Thanks for all of your input!!!

IF your adding a FLYING A globe to a 64 National, it should be a 13.5" Capco [plastic body].

Was looking at perhaps Texaco Fire chief ad glass...were any Texaco pumps green? Would this look strange? I really like the Texaco logos...All the pumps I see are red...

Thanks for all your input on my first pump! Here it is semi restored..Thanks to Gas Pump Heaven who gave me info on this pump and informed me that only Flying A had these green porcelin pumps, so I was able to keep it true to original. Still having difficulty with the spinner replacement (any suggestions? see spinner help post) Well were it is!
