Two things. If there is a ID tag on the pump, can you either post a picture of it, or tell us here what the ID tag has on it. This type of pump was one used in private garages or in the rural area, all before 1910. The earliest date I have for the Hays company is an ad from 1921, but one piece of literature I have states that Hayes started in business in 1905.
Second, can I have your permission to use the above pictures should I want to use it in an article or in my Gas Pump book?

Thank you but I have a question, why did you think it was a Hays?
