I have a Tokheim 36B near completion, done as a Moble Special Gas pump.
Of course I would like to get an original glob vs repop.
Looking to get an idea what price range an original would cost.

Thank you! I'm thinking 13 1/2 for size.

So for that pump, original would be metal frame with lenses?

So I am just trying to get as close to original as a can afford.

From what I understand CAPCO was started in Cincinnati and would be a plastic frame and not metal.

Also would the 12" porcelain Special Gas shield be correct?

I know once in service a lot got changed a little by the owner in up keep. I'm going for newer pump in service look.

I will definitely post some pictures.

That example of an east coast wide blue border plate is a reproduction. It should be I.R. dated at the lower right point for that version plate, but gets the idea across of the types.
