Here is a photo of my most recent restoration. I would like to thank Dwaine Buck for the beautiful glob, Mike Slama for the globe body, Al Kozeliski for the pump decals and Seth Robbins for some pump parts. You guys make the hobby fun.  John Nance

Great looking pump, globe and sign. I like the unusal stuff like that. Where was Douglas gasoline from?

I know they were on west coast till the late fifties or early sixties. There was one close to where I grew up in San Diego in the Pacific Beach area. I think it was connected to Douglas aircraft somehow. I could be wrong. Maybe someone here has more information.

Looks great... i don't know how many tokheims were made but i know they are a great pump to restore.
I like it... glad you had fun doing the pump and made friends with some vendors on top of it.
Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

Douglas Station Grand Opening, Buellton California, Circa late 1950's. Many Hancock stations were converted to the Douglas brand as was this one.
