Mine stands 81-1/2" tall. The sight gauge is slightly taller, it ad's two inches to the overall height.

According to original Tokheim literature: Height overall, including 19" canteen globe (yes this is what they called the globes back in the 1930s), 97 1/2"; when probvided with an auxiliary dome cap, 80 3/4". Incidentally the weight was 450 pounds.

Literature available on Ebay or at: www.petrocollect.com

A WEST COAST manufactured 850's is shorter than a Ft. Wayne, Ind. manufactured 850, maybe a couple inches. Also the WEST coast pump has a STAMPED steel center section. Early 850's from Ft Wayne have a Cast Iron Bonnet.
