Welcome aboard, as others have stated the addiction only gets worse. Nice looking lubesters. That is what everyone in the hobby calls them by the way. You would look like a geek showing up at a petro bash asking for any "oil dispensing equipment" lol.

What's in a name......would old gas from a meter by any other name still smell as bad !!!
When I worked as a pump mech. we referred to the gold and green varnished gas that came out as "GILBARCO" no matter what make pump it was....Dude, you smell like GILBARCO.!!!!
The 39 TOKHEIM meter has an eagle beak looking inlet on the cast head...beak=nose.
Check out the Tokheim on that guy!!!
Now, I am confused....they are not lubsters,
Lube is grease. They are not dispensers for they have a pump. A cabinet for gas without a pump is a dispenser. A cabinet for gas with a pump is called a pump.
I have asked this question before after being laughed at for calling them lubsters and no one would say...not even the one laughing.
If it isn't a lubster and it has a reservoir, and a pump....what is it???????
I have always called them box pumps....everyone around here calls them kerosene pumps.
a dispenser does not pump..air powered devices would be dispensers.Cabinets working off of submerged units are dispensers.
Those are pumps.....nice looking too!
But what is the INDUSTRY'S name for them???
Veeder Root Rebuilds.....since 1987

Welcome, Todd. I'm wondering about the round Polly pump you have. Can you get a larger pic up for me to view? I'm positive I have an unrestored one by Atlantic. Yours is the only other one I've seen and would like to make some comparisons. At this point, I'm almost afraid to refer to them by any name, so I'll blaze my own trail based on the collective wealth of intellectual knowlege that has graced this thread and refer to them simply as bulk oil dispensing pumps!! Did you do the restorations or purchase them that way?.............Dave.
After studying the first picture more closely, I've realized that it's a Richfield pump. The Polly parot on the wall looked like it was attached to the pump.
