Does it have the doors? Lower access covers? All piping? Nozzle fork?

In a conversation I once had with Bob Lee years ago, The Bowser "Red Sentry came out about 1911. It's also referred to as a Model or Cut 241. Ed Shaver

sliding door yes
bottom covers no
top pipe no

where do i go to get decals for red sentry

350-500.00

Dustin, there are no decals as such for the Red Sentry. All of the type were cast into the doors of the dispenser. The only decal that I ever re call was a "National Trails " sign I have seen on a few of them . I would contact Jim at T- way Graphics and see if he knows of a source . Perhaps our resident expert Dick Bennett may also know some one too! Ed Shaver

thanks for the info. i did alot of work to it this weekend and painted it and looks get i painted around the bowser decal and the red sentry, i dont want to take those off until i find some decals. it was worth i think in the 400 dollar range gut it looks like it should be worth more then that now. I also left the name plates alone to but wanting to know of a way to get paint off of the plate without taking the name off.

Both the sheet metal & cast 241's used decals for the BOWSER & RED SENTRY markings as Dustin has shown. The inside Brass plate is a very lite etching & will look much better restored w/ a Black background.

Dustin, take some excellent pictures of decals to your local sign shop & have them make replacements. Some BOWSER decals I have seen look like a Gold Leaf paint w/ Black outlines.

I wonder, what that mannequin did or didn't do, to get his hand taped to the pump handle? kinda gives new meaning to the term keep your fingers off of my pump.
