Hey guys, I have one of those that I found in the yard of the construction company where I work. Mine has a plate on it that says made by GRACO.

Yep, we used one somewhat like that at automotive school, as an oil catcher when the cars are on the lift.

I have one that is a greaser , marked Lincoln St Louis. It is red and white , base is black with wheels.. It came out of the corner gas station where I lived till I was 17.. I think they had ones for gearlube that were air powered and made a noise like kadunkshhh, kadunkshh, kadunkshh and they would count the kadunkshh's and then know how much to charge for the oil.
I have an overhead one of them , red and white Graco and a Graco fireball tht goes in a big grease barrel as well.

That's an oil drain. Looks like it might be a Lincoln.

Looks like my Lincoln, especially if the base is a bit wider than the white part.
Hot Tip , if you buy this..Do Not Tip on its side and stick in a hatchback car, or lay it on it side in a truck either!!

Welcome wvhandyman,
I see from your first post that you are from Summersville, WV. It's nice to have another "gas geek" from the wilds of West Virginia! You are just a short drive from my hometown of Winfield, so feel free to stop by and have a Pepsi. I've got the only home in Woodland Forest subdivision with a Correct Measure visible as a driveway light, so I'm easy to find. Hope to meet you someday.

You're all wrong. I can't believe that this intelligent group of collectors don't know what it is. A bunch of collectors stand around it and look at pictures of Tokheim 850's, Wayne 60's, Gilbarco 86's,Fry 117's, Erie 50's,Tokheim 36b's, National Duplex's and in 30 minutes it's full.It's a drool bucket.

Eric I've got one that is similar. Mine is round on a 30 gal drum. I believe it had wheels but were tossed out years ago. If you want it you can have it for the $20.00 I paid for it 8 years ago. The Veedol 30 gal drum is worth that. I am in Seattle. Come and get it.
