As I said before; the more you look, the luckier you get. But in this case you got a great tip from a very nice OGer too. BTW are you keeping the Original "globe" to maintain that patina look everyone talks about? LOL
OH yeah and the good stuff is still out there! You just have to drive a tiny bit further than you used to.

Nice to see all the replies this post is getting. If that pump could express emotion I am sure it would give a big smile knowing it is appreciated once again.

It makes it double cool seeing where it was stored.
I am always looking for anything Texaco or Oklahoma oil and gas company's, also I am a newbie at seeking globes.

Could not have happened to a nicer guy! Thanks for the story and goes to show you..the good stuff is still out there in the most unlikely places..who would have thought in a barn like that. Oh yea, I understand the giddy feeling when you make the connection.

Very nice looking original survivor. I'm pretty certain Kevin will leave it as is, from reading other posts he's made on nice looking patina originals. Did you get her to knock a little off for the broken door window since you're going to have to replace it, lol!  Darin

Hey Kevin that story really resembles the story on how I got my Wayne 60 showcase also. That is very weird!!! What a great pump you got there! I know you have been looking for one for awhile since you asked about mine a few times lol. I hope you enjoy it, its a wonderful survivor! You deserve it.
