Hi All, This is my first post here and I have a question for the experts. Several years ago I acquired an old gas pump. It was rusty and lying on it's side. I have since painted it, after first sanding it, then undercoating it with Por 15. I have the original base which contains the motor. I also have the red neptune clock-face dial and the original nozzle. What make is this pump and approximately how old is it ? I am posting a picture of the pump. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, John

JFOK,
Welcome to oldgas.com, I will make a guess...there are others that can confirm or deny. I say it is a Gilbert & Barker 93.
We'll know before long.

ps eyebrow looks like an Erie.

WELCOME TO OLDGAS
Without seeing the base, & your location. Looking at the top, I'm going to say MOORE & KLING [Model # unknown] pg 223 bottom center.

Hi, Thanks for the responses. There is a Moore and Kling brass plate below the clock-face opening, but I assumed that it was a certification tag not the brand name of the pump. See picture. BTW...I live on Cape Cod, Mass. John

Guess the model # isn't "unknown" anymore!

Hey Jack Sim,
ANOTHER one for the new book.
The one in current book is a cash recorder.
John, please replace clockface & take another picture showing base. Then submit [email] a picture to Jack Sim.
Thanks,
db

Hi,
I guess sometimes the answer is "under your nose."
Thanks to all involved, especially Dick, for the help.
One more question...what is it's approximate worth ??
Thanks again.
John
P.S. I will replace clockface & take another picture showing base. Need Jack Sim's email to send pic.

I doubt the nozzle is original to the pump as they were replaced because of use. But it could/would be simular.

Would like a picture of the pump, but pictures emailed do not have high enough resulations to reproduce in a printed book. My publisher wants pictures with a minumum of 300 dpi. If your camera shoots at a high resulation, it might work.
