#347682 - Sat Aug 11 2012 03:52 PM Hayes(Wichita) Visible Etched Cylinder
bsplichal95 Petro Enthusiast Registered: Sat May 26 2012 Loc: Hays, Kansas	Hello everyone. I just bought an early Hayes(Wichita) visible pump without the glass cylinder and I really need to find an original etched glass cylinder in good condition. It's the one with the gallon markings etched in the cylinder. I am also in need of an original top and the four corner pieces of trim that go on the outside edge of the corners of the pump. If you have any of these or other Hayes visible parts send me a PM. Thanks, Braden Splichal _________________________ Braden Splichal Looking for any old gas pumps and porcelain signs.

bsplichal95 Petro Enthusiast Registered: Sat May 26 2012 Loc: Hays, Kansas	Okay thank you. I really would like to go with all original parts though because only the bonnet, corner pieces, and the cylinder are missing. It's the first pump made by the Wichita Company, made in 1921.

rvanpelt Petro Enthusiast Registered: Mon Oct 23 2000 Loc: Nebraska	Braden, I thought maybe it would help if I posted pics of my Wichita pump. The cylinder is hard to get a pic of. The etched cylinder is 27 in. tall and 12 in. diameter. There were maybe 2 different bonnets. Mine is very heavy cast and is NOT bolted down so be careful if you ever go to move one of these pumps as they could fall off and hit you pretty hard. Mine wasn't made for a light but put one on it anyway to show globe and cylinder. I think the illuminated bonnet had 2 ears where the lights were. Hope this helps.

rvanpelt Petro Enthusiast Registered: Mon Oct 23 2000 Loc: Nebraska	Just curious, Braden. Is your serial number higher or lower than mine? I have not seen another Wichita other than mine. Good Luck!

Wes Hague Veteran Member Registered: Wed Aug 08 2007 Loc: Woodstock, Ontario, Canada	I don't know if this helps or not,,, there are likely some glass cylinders out there that are close to those measurements, 27 x 12 .... I know a very common cylinder here in Canada is the one for a clear vision/SSE visible and it measures 12-1/2 x 26-1/2, don't know if that would work or not ? But they are easy to find usually around the $400-600 range and have etched numbers. _________________________ website;(www.ridgewoodgasolenecollectibles.com) email(weshague840@hotmail.com ) phone(519-533-6202) cell(519-535-5743) USA CELL(863-838-1199)
