Jeff the Roman column is Great, and I beleve the Wayne 60 Dwaine is one of the best ,But for me it is the Erie 50 or 53 , Art Deco at it's best , Yes I'm a National fan big time, the simplex,Duplex and A38's are cool but what I can't afford ,and have never seen , like the Erie's is just to appealing to me , If I ever see one at a Gas show I would be on the phone to the bank. Yep a Erie 50 with one of Big Cheeses Art Deco Globe Bodys for me .

I could never part with my Wayne 60 narrow body... done up in Texaco of course, unless someone wanted to trade for a Wayne Roman Column. Fat chance of that ever happening.

Boyle-Dayton or Keessee clockface [1 or both have backlit faces]. Larger head than an Ecometer, simlar in shape to the 900 Rapidayton. Only a few known.

BUT, who can live with ONLY 1 pump ?
That's why WE are addicts, GOT TO HAVE ANOTHER FIX !!

I cast my vote for the infamous Wayne 60! Second place would be a National A38.

Lets see, National, Wayne, Tokhien, or was that Tokhien, National, Wayne? WOW! I did have to pull out the Jack Sim's Gas Pump book to take a look at that ERIE #50 or #53 & that is a sweet pump, but I have always leaned towards the Wayne 60 that is so stronge day in & day out, but I love the clock face anything and when you pull up the National 60 Simplex with front & back clock face's well that is number one for me.

This may not be the one and only I'd choose, but it is one if the coolest I have seen. Found the picture on the Italian Fisogni Museum site. http://www.museo-fisogni.org/indexi.html Check it out!
It is a Siliam from 1938

Welcome Aboard Frank. Wow this is an old post. Yes, pictures would be great. We love pictures. As far as one gas pump, it would be the National A38 in Flying A that was at a local Mom&Pop store.

1. Wayne 55
2. Tokheim 34 ~ shell face plate version
3. Pennsylvania R-T

Husband's choice ~ M&S 70 (I think) with shoe box Tydol globe he saw a couple years ago.

If I could have them all but had to choose just one, I'd probably die from complications of being torn apart!


Blessings,
Heather

I am into computer pumps, so it would have to be an Erie 53. If the one pump were out of the pumps I currantly have it would be a Tok 34 with a Bennett 541 realy close behind. I have always liked the 541s and was also my first pump.
