I recently bought 2 Bennett 756 gas pumps from a farmer in Bisbee, North Dakota and they originally came from his brothers Cities Service station in the same town. If you look close, you can still see the pump island with the big rock sitting on it!

Building on the right is a railroad offload Texaco bulkplant and the old station on the left was a Mobil station at one time.Redfield, S.D. (Still a Tokheim 39 and a Wayne 70, both original sitting on the dock) ! Took the pic 5 hours ago.

Fred was not implying that your a thief or that you should become one, just that the gate was open so you should go in and talk to them,,, as long as there are not rifles caulking in the background. Good luck!

I did talk to the owner of the buildings and he was a nice guy. His grandfather ran the old Mobil station and his dad ran the Texaco on the right. He was pleased that there is still people out there that appreciates this stuff.Pumps are for his grandkids in the future which I was happy to hear as they are staying in his family. I knew Fred was not implying I was a thief by the way, no harm no foul . I did heist many Hotwheels when I was 8 though!

In the pic of the Wayne pump w/the station lighter is the Lincoln Highway ad glass original or a fantasy piece? I've never seen one. Thanks.

It's a custom add glass on the Wayne 70 the owner said he grew up next to the Lincoln Highway back east in Pennsylvania and it led him there, he was quite a character that I really enjoyed talking to. I tried very hard to buy that Longhorn clock he said he had it working at one time but it finally quit and once he closed the restaurant he just let it be hope he changes his mind someday I'd love to have it in my collection it a pretty unique piece of history.
