One of the pumps I purchased this weekend had ad glass painted over. Turned out to be two different font Flite Fuel glass panels. Can anyone give me more information on this name?

Thanks. If not uncommon then I can easily find a globe for this pump.

Pm me, I have this globe and will sell it to you. Don't if you know this or not but the shield Phillips globes are all plastic. They were glued together so that makes it hard to find a nice one. Unlike other globes you can take them apart and buy a lens here and a lens there and a body and make a nice globe. The Phillips you can't. You will find the glue get loose and maybe can swap a lens but not often.
Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

I have no plans to restore this pump. I will remove the brushed on house paint and give the rest a simple clean up. It will then be for sale locally for someone to restore as they desire.

So looking for the globe was sarcasm?

I did not know what globe belongs on this pump when I posted the reply and picture. I just simply posted a picture of a Phillips 66 globe. I will leave the purchase of a globe up to the next owner.

As much as I love gas pumps in as found condition with original patina I had no choice but to sandblast this pumps metal.

Too late now. I will tell the sandblaster to be more careful and not to remove everything if a logo appears. Maybe just removing the final paint layer was possible. Giving the pump the look I want. I'm picking up two more gas pumps on Monday. I hope we can uncover something on one of them.

Plus you're being stingy with the paint. Need a thicker coat and more flow. Even, if it is two stage paint. Come on Trent, quit cutting corners!
