I've been messing with pumps longer then I would like to admit to but I have never had this happen to me, never! I started working on my clear vision and was disassembling it for clean up. There were a couple of patches on the back side of the sheet metal and had found one part to fill it.

This is what I found.

I have no idea what brand this or what the logo stands for. Anyone have any idea?

Oldsmobile 1920-1939.
The crest included many elements symbolizing Oldsmobile's increasing prominence in the automobile industry. The winged spur at its center represented harnessing horsepower; the acorns acknowledged Oldsmobile as a seed that helped grow the automobile industry. Also included, although not shown on this simplified version, is the Lamp of Knowledge and micrometer and a triangle signifying research, exactness and precision.

Hey OK, thanks, I had no idea. What threw me off was the Mobile Service. I thought it may have been a sign for a repair truck. Thanks again.
