Thanks to Jack Sim, Craig Osbeck and Old Gas, I found the information on the "Air Station". I still can't believe I have never come across one of these before. Of course it is 95 years old. That's older than me or Jack Sim! --  http://www.oldgas.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=628056#Post628056

Thanks for anymore close up photos you can past later on too. Close up coming soon. All pumps will be for sale. Not the air station. Thanks to everyone for the kind words. I have met some fantastic people both buying and selling Petroliana. I was taught if you offer a fair price when buying, it always comes back to you.

I was taught if you offer a fair price when buying, it always comes back to you. Just the other night I called on a pump for sale north of here. I asked the guy what he wanted for it and he told me $xx. I replied that I would pay more than that for the pump as it was too cheap. I ended up getting all four of his pumps for a reasonable price. On top of that, he is working on getting more. It even sounds like there are a few good ones coming!
