Why is a Wayne 60-A, an "A"? #489905 Mon Nov 04 2013 11:12 AM

I see a 60-A in Jack Sim's ID book, but the one pictured is a "Narrow" body, mine is not, it has the humps on the sides . This pump has one "Atlantic" glass in it, was it built for Atlantic hence the "A"? (I had read that Wayne produced special pumps for individual oil companies). Just curious... Thank You in advance!

I am guessing somebody changed the base and hips at some point in the pumps life, or changed the ID tag... Your pump is not a 60a if it has hips and the regular w60 base... FREEDOM oil items wanted.
