Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion Milwaukee Cash Recorder Pump Model 880

Attached is a picture of the referenced pump that I recently purchased. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could send me a picture of their Milwaukee Cash Recorded (any model) face so I can tell what the clock face hands and tabs, that indicate the price per gallon, look like.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Marshall

Thanks for the suggestion Jim, kind of a duh moment for me.

Looked through all the pages but could still use a real good closeup of the face if any one has one. (Don't know if the available photos can be enlarged or not.)

Here is a close up of my Milwaukee 870, I got the new faces and hands from Ron Scobie, hope this helps a bit, don't hesitate if you have other questions I will try and answer them.

---that's going to be one good looking pump, good luck

Your 870 is pictured on page 210 of my Gas Pump ID book.

The 860 and the 870 are almost identical pumps, the main difference is the bezel around the face. As far as I can determine, both pumps were introduced in 1931, but I don't think that is accurate. While I have a great deal if literature on the 850 and the 860 I do not have much on the 870. I might also mention that the 870 and the 820 (which was introduced in 1933, are identical pumps, except the 820 is not a cash recorder pump.

I just noticed something that I did not notice, nor did Blkangus, your pump does not have an outside sight glass, the sight glass on your pump is in the door. This indicates it was probably made after 1935. I don't think this makes it any more desirable, but it does mean it was one of the last pumps made by Milwaukee.

If by chance you have a picture of the pump showing the entire pump I would like to use it in the 3rd Edition of my Gas Pump ID book which is about to go to the publisher.

Grant,

Your picture is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for taking the time to post it!

Jack,

I emailed you a photo of the complete pump on July 7th. Please let me know if it did not go through or if you need a different one.
