Hi,
I was given a 1953 Tokheim 39 yesterday and I must say i'm pretty excited about my new project (like i needed "another" one...).
I was helping oversea a tank removal on my boss's mother's ranch here in colorado, and when I drove up on day one and saw it, I knew I wanted it.
Anyhow, I'll be starting a resto this winter so I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions, starting with this one. It appears that the original colors were deep blue sides and roof with bright red center's. but no markings or leftover signage as to what gass company it started it's life with. I did some google searches but found not other blue and red pumps.
There was a MobileGas (i think) steel pegasus horse in the garage, but is was way to big to be part of the pump and looked like it was a neon sign at one point (it was very rough shap.)
here's the tag info
39 A 1028224 9-53
Any help with decode would be excellent, as I would like to bring it back to orig specs.
Mike
