Bought mine on eBay. There was a guy selling some nice porcelain repro's for the major brands. Not sure if he still has them listed since I bought a Texaco one awhile ago.

Toy:

If you want to make your own base out of aluminum or steel - I can whip up a decal for you in any brand you need.

I've done a couple and they come out nice.

Later . . .

Well it's not quite on the lubester (or bulk oil tank) but at least it's mounted on the pump. Looked good enough with the glass cylinder that I didn't need to take up the extra room with the tank. (At least that's my excuse).

Jim,
I am glad you told us that. I never gave much thought to doing that. I like your idea Alan. Looks good. Thanks

Here ya go guys.

I made this one for myself. I got the mounting bracket off of e-Bay (it's new/reproduction) and made my own backing plate out of aluminum.

Once I had everything cut out, filed and sanded - I shot it with a rattle-can of white 'Rustoleum'.

Then I applied the decal, mounted the backing plate to the mount - and the assembly to the lubester.



Later . . .
