Couple of rare clocks right there. Cool picture. Pretty sure they're not milkglass tops though...not with globes anyway.

Wow, 36A's with a clockface? Don't think I've ever seen one of those.

Tops are too short for glass tops. Here is a 36 clockface I got four years ago. Dick Bennett told me they called it a 870 Special because Tokheim used some 870 parts in it.



And with a glass top to compare height.

Thanks, Matt.

I figured that the top couldn't be glass, but I had never seen a metal top/clockface 36 until you posted your awesome pump.
