I have a Shell oil Lubester, with a Bennet model 457 pump serial number MA 21473, I’m trying to find info on the year/era it was made.I would like to make it period correct colors and decals, I’m guessing 1930s…anyone have any information it would be much appreciated, see attached pictures

1959. I have a copy of the parts breakdown if you need one. $5 shipped.

If you decide on 30`s scheme here is painting information from my Shell sign and painting manual. If the lubester was outside it was orange-yellow and red. If it was inside it was cream.

Thanks! Going with the yellow/orange & red theme, that’s what was underneath everything when I stripped it. I will post pictures once it’s done.
