April's pump of the month is the Tokheim 850! I thought we could do a clockface pump this month. These pumps have a huge clockface on both sides and came in either a round version or a square body which was made one year only in 1931. I will include the 850, 850 twin, square 850, and the smaller 950. Please share what you have everyone!! The below information is from Jack's book.

- Tokheim 850: 1930-1939. "Volumeter," nozzle control, continuous flow, round, hose on either the left or right. The early ones were chain driven, then later they were belt driven.
- Tokheim 850 Twin: 1930-1939. "Volumeter," Twin, nozzle control, continuous flow.
- Tokheim 850: 1931. "Volumeter," square version, nozzle control, continuous flow.
- Tokheim 950: 1932-1935. Nozzle control, continuous flow, available in round or square body.

Thank you for the participation everyone! Please share your Tokheim 850's and 950's!

Man Joe, that color scheme on that Red Indian is beautiful.

Here are two of mine. One is an 850 cut and the other is a regular ol' 850. I posted two pics of the cut 850, because the sides are reversible (the top is a little crooked because it is just resting on the bottom when I took the photo)....

Enjoy, Steve

Here is a square 950 that has a different style but factory correct visi gauge. The visi looks a lot like an Erie but it's not.
