I'm gonna take a stab at making one of those fancy art deco tops made for an Erie clockface pump that had the tall Mobilgas ad glass with the thin lines screened into the glass. Can anyone help out with an original map or better yet literature so I can get an idea of scale and size dimensions? Jim Treadway from T-Way Graphics agreed to help me with the glass if I can pull off the sheet metal work. This will be an expensive project but if they turn out good, I'm sure other collectors might be interested in acquiring one. This will be marked appropriately (Fantasy) as well. Thanks for your help and cooperation

Pg 140 in the BOOK? Looks like a Giant 36B Top?

This is the best I can do. Dwaine Buck made some of these style tops. I do not know if he has any left. Here are pictures of the top and a pump he did.
