Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion What is this pump?

I just picked up this pump and going to restore it but not sure what it is. The name plate has been destroyed. It looks like an old Rapidayton that I once owned but also looks like a Bowser curb side. Unable to find any really good picture of either on the net so thought I would go to the experts. Any ideas and/or where I can get a picture of a complete pump? Thanks....Bill

BOWSER

Have you restored it? Post some photos of it....

Not quite complete, missing the gallon counter, ID tag, spigot & some had a pricer [approx. 12" tall by 1", glass covered heavy paper strips] & arrow attached to rack.
I sold the one I had like it back in May of this year. Not a Fig. 41, but close.

i'll look & see if i can find any pics of the one i did years ago. i took the round "cap" off & extended the pipe up & added a rubber hose/nozzle for a more "gas pump" look. still have the hex shaped cap, ran across it the other day...

What is a figure 41? Also, what do you want for the cap? Mine was in two pieces when I got it. Trying to tear it down but lots of rust. The crank ( and I assume the gears) are frozen tight. Not having fun with it so far....

Bowser used Figure #'s instead of Model #'s for their early pumps.
This is a Salesmans Sample of a Bowser Fig. 41;

NOTE the locking Flap on left side of the pear shape housing. Later 41's have a different Locking mech.
