I'm an average-sized person but golly I felt short around this. It's almost the first thing you see when you enter the Calvert Marine Museum on Solomons Island Maryland, but it's the only petro thing in there (if you don't count boat engines). I think it might be hand brushed. It's from a farm on Saint Mary's couty and the plaque says it was restored by Paul Adams but it doesn't say when.

Nicole , the G & B 176- 177's have been one of the most popular in the Del-Mar- Va for many years . In my travels back into the 1960's , I saw the old stations with some of these still in use followed by the ever popular Fry 117's . Saddly, all are gone now , replaced by BLAND electronic boxes replete with cookie cutter lottery outlets ............ Ed Shaver
see ya on the road folks !

I have a drawing of the T176-177 with part numbers, and the lights on the drawing are the same style as on the PIC on this thread. I bought two of these pumps, one had the light fixture with the porcelain square light sockets(which I believe are more common)that used a seperate light cover, and one like the Pic on this thread which did not need a seperate light cover. My thought is that either style light fixtures are correct - but I have been wrong before! Brady

My 176 had the same lights. I like these common pumps.
Thanks, Phil

The docents at the museum were in their upper 60's and remembered using these pumps in southern Maryland as well, and I imagine a pump on a farm would have been used much longer. Farmers know how to strech a penny! The Atlantic globe, I am guessing it is a DELMARVA brand, and not put on just to make it fit in a maritime museum...
