I found this gas pump on EBay last night. It is a Martin & Schwartz model 80, restored to Standard Oil of Indiana logo. However, it has ad glass with "Royal". As a Conoco person, I recognized the Royal ad glass as a Conoco brand but I wasn't familiar with it for Standard. I searched the internet and found another brand - Red Hat Gasoline - that used the Royal ad glass; however their "Royal" is in larger letters and in a different color.

My understanding is that Standard of Indiana used a different version of the M&S 80 pump when it was introduced in 1946. Conoco, Sunoco and Mobil used the M&S 80 model with script tops (and later ad glass), while Standard used a model without script tops - one with the sight glass at the top of the pump. My conclusion is that the pump on EBay is a restoration that is inconsistent with the history of this pump (obviously, a collector can restore a pump any way he wishes). A Standard M&S 80 pump would not have the ad glass feature.

Can anybody add any other perspective to this?

Thanks.
