Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion My first Gilbargo pump

Dear all,

I have been dreaming of owning one for almost 2 decades. Well, yesterday was the day. Indeed, I bought myself this pump which is a Gilbarco 44. It was terribly heavy to move around but now It is definitely at the right spot. I am still working on the wife to keep it in the dining room though

I could not find any picture of similar models online. Is it because it is not old enough or not popular yet?

Btw, I love the color. The pump really glows and shines!!!
Let me know what you think.

Dreams do come true! Thats a nice looking pump and small enough to display in a room. One of my favorites of the "modern era"

looks good. Just tell your wife it could be worse!

I like the colored face. Here is one with a red face.

It's a classic... Wife will get use to it!

I also have two in the living room. And working on a 3rd one.

Great pump!!!

My sugestion would be to move the table in the garage to make room for more PUMPS. Your on a roll if you stop now you may shut down your options of future pumps in the dining room. Great looking pump. Something about it reminds me of a boat dock pump I must have seen in the past.

Thanks for all the comments. Love seems to grow daily for this pump. Indeed, the yellow porcelain face plate is fantastic. The red Chevron pump looks quite similar though. Someone knows where I could find more info or pictures on my model?

Best,

If you had looked on this page of my website you would have seen a picture of your pump.
