So I have been wondering if these so called double cylinder visible pumps were ever made? Does anyone have one or have pictures of one? What is some history on these unique pumps? Thanks.

I have a number of ads for this pump, so I assume they made some.

Ed, list them here one at a time, I'll look up the original literature and see if you are correct.
Just start a post something like this: "JACK, DID THEY EVER MAKE THIS PUMP?"
This will be fun.

Decided to do a little research on this "Super Twin." I have three ads that show this pump, two are from 1927 and one is from 1928.
Since there is no one around to ask, and literature on this pump is scarce, I am going to make an assumption (don't bother to remind me what assuming means, I heard it before): I don't believe a pump company would advertise a pump from July, 1927 to June, 1928 without having started production. Also, these ads were placed in National Petroleum News, the largest publication ever devoted to this industry.

Thanks Jack, I've been very interested in knowing if anyone has ever found a Wisconsin visible yet? (last page in the guide). Kind Regards, Goober

At least 1 Super Twin has survived. Serial #1 was bought in FRY, Tx many years ago & is in a collection that few have seen & cameras are not allowed.
