As a contributor to OG for over 25 years I am always amazied at the first time collectors wanting to restore their first pump back to the original company that first supplied the gas that first came out of the nozzle. While I don't have a problem with this, consider pumps were treated just like used cars, they passed down thru the service station business. When the large oil companies purchased new pumps they traded in the old ones, the used pump business was a very large business. Restore your pump to whatever company you want to, but I will say that most B-D pumps carried Calif. oil companies colors.

B-D pumps were probably in more movies than any other company's pumps, why, they were made in L.A., and more B-D pumps were sold in Calif, and most movies made in the 1930s were made in Calif.

Now your pump, it is pictured on page 112 of my Gas Pump ID book and some literature is available.
