Its not a visible or a clock face but it is an early G&B...(curb side?) Seems to be all original green paint/fried egg decal & looks like its set up to pump oil or maybe kero with a spout end attached(no nozzle/hose). The model number is 82-1 9936. Whats the proper name for it...model 82-1? Is it pre 1930? The pump is apart & I'm not sure if its sitting together the way it should be in the photo. Getting some all thread & hardware tomorrow.

Found this info from a past sale on Ebay.
Quoting the listing....
Vintage Gilbert and Barker model 82-1 curbside gasoline pump. This model, made in 1926 is somewhat unique in that it is a dual purpose pump. It dispenses through a hose, or directly into a bucket hung on the spigot at the side.

...a nice original pump! being that it's green, it was likely a kerosene dispenser...
Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

Restored my first pump last year that I bought 15 years ago.
Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

A wet sanding & clear coat crossed my mind, But I cant take a chance with the chemicals in the clear. It might peel the paint or fish eye it.

Great Pump. I like that size that looks great and doesn't take up the whole shop to display. Great color and graphics. Enjoy! Skate
