Hello all - I am new to this forum and, I must say, this is one of the most informative sites I've seen in a long time. I am also new to the world of petroliana. I recently acquired a pump at a yard sale but, for the life of me, I have no idea what it is. Can anyone help me out? I know it is a Gilbarco, but that is about all I know. It is shorter than the average gas pump, so I thought it was a farm pump, but its nozzle looks more appropriate for oil, not gas. It also has a gauge/dial on the front that measures in pints. However, I can't find anything about Gilbarco oil pumps anywhere. I'd love to see what one looks like restored, as mine appears to have parts missing and I have no idea what exactly is missing. can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks

Thanks Musky. Any idea where I can see pics of one completely intact? Like I said, I found nothing on line about it. Are parts available for it to be restored? I'd love to fix it up. I can't find anything that remotely resembles the pint gauge/dial anywhere? Any idea as to its approximate age? I'm guessing 40s to 50s.

Would have been used to dispense rear end grease, also known as 80/90 wt.
Never seen a Gilbarco one before.

If it has a model number please post it here and I will look it up. It might be somewhere on this page of my website: http://petrolianacollectibles.com/gilbarco%20pumps.htm
