Jack , thanks for your wise input. I will not be repainting just clearing some of the paint off of the decals. I have a totally restored visible American 2487 that I did in 1985. I wanted a rusto look pump and this is what I came home with. Painted over decals is what I am dealing with. Pump is plated as a 39 AP-RC # 1,055,233, 1954. Vickers brand is consistent with where this pump came from in KS. I will se how it goes. You are correct with the sentimental view. I worked in a Texaco station when I was 16 for three yr. Since the pump is a red I believe Fire Cheif would work well with it being all red. I will do a little more rubbing today and ponder the notion. Pump is very straight and working on it has been very easy, must have been stored inside no rusty bolts, no mud dobbers, no traces of mice. Thanks again for your response, great to hear from a PRO.
