I just started work on a Wayne Model 83 pump that I recently purchased. It was solid red with no markings when I bought it. When I stripped the first coat of paint on the skins, I found Gilmore markings. Under the second coat, I found Shell markings that looked to be very old. There was nothing under the Shell colors. Is it possible that these Shell markings are original to this pump? I don't know the history of the pump other than the last thirty years is has been sitting in a garage. If the Shell colors are original, I think that it would be great to restore the pump in those colors. Did Shell use the Wayne Model 83 pump?
Thanks,
Doc
