I looked at the pictures of the pump and thought to myself that's odd, never seen a 96 series pump without ad glasses. Looked thru Jacks book; that was a non computing clock face pump originally Model G&B 297. Cool pump first manufactured in 1938 so that's the oldest the decals can be 1938 and later.
Wonder if the clock face mechanism is still at the farm somewhere.
W/ the
Exception of the EGC logo the decals Could have been much older than the pump if they were still in use in 1938.
NOT likely a Clock Mech. would have been changed out to a VR after being installed on a farm, UN-less gasoline was being sold to the general public.
One reason this 96 wasn't in Jack's book is the Publisher Removed several images [& it seems at random], some others could have been removed instead. The publisher is only interested in printing the book, not in being historically correct or showing each variation.
