FINALLY, I have something to post on these "_____ of the month" deals. Thanks, Dwaine for the help.

This was the first pump I restored... I didnt know squat, and still dont.

The bonnet was gone, so I just put a light/globe up there. Not knowing any better, I fitted those circ 1920's pleated shades on the light junction box.

Here is my Bowser 575.



I found this pump without doors, a gift from my brother-in-law. Thanks to KEN BRUCE, who sent me a pair of doors from Texas, and this web site for making this pump look much better. As you can see I took out the spinner manifold. If anyone needs the spinners or the metal bezels that go around the site glasses let me know and we'll work out something. Send in those Bowser pics guys. I know there are lots of them out there. Gosh,I even have a dog named "Bowser".
Thanks,
danceswithpumps

Here's a Bowser image sent in by Gary Adcock (Gaspumpgary) from the UK.



I think Gary has some more really nice pumps in that garage. More pictures Gary, please!

Thanks Frankie for posting the hand Crank Bowser pic.
I picked this up at a Museum sale on the weekend. It is in nice shape except for the cRACK in the RAcK, nice nickle on the cylinders i think it will clean up just great. I have a similar pump without the seperator that i beieve is a 1910 due to the stamps on the calibration seals, It has a thick cast emblem on it, this one has a stamped one and it curves around the corner. The seperator has 1911 casting dates on it and the tag has a 19 and in another spot a 21 so I think it is from the late teens. the numbers are visible on the counter -the 3 inch nickle disc shape thing at the top with a pawl arm hanging down, everytime the rack goes to the top for a gallon pumped it moves one #, so a gallon at a time 5 times for 5 gallons. Also there is a stop so you can pump a calibrated 1/2 gallon or a Quart.

Heres my Bowser 585 ? you've seen it before.
but I'm learning all the time my self, just today talking to Larry , the faces say zero/start it was in red thats why its faded, then the doors don't open but lift up like a Gilbarco, the side door is a larger door with the turn back crank is locked to the door that you have to open to read the metor, then the price boards on both sides, He tells me out of all the pumps(Bowsers) hes done Hes never seen one like it,

Dwaine,
Your 585 side glass, originaly came from the factory with Black vertical stripes on White background. The station owner probly changed them and put in the backlit pricers. I don't think they orig.

these are not originals, but a copy of what was in there, if you put in a single lens it rattles but two lenses fit great , thats the way it was right from the farm , the paper of course was rotten,
