The Pump of the Month for May is the G&B 96. These are cool common pumps, they seem to be very plentiful around here. Ironically I do not have one yet. These pumps were made from 1938-1940. Here is the list of pumps included in this month's thread.

-G&B 96: 1938. Ad-Glass in the face.
-G&B 96: 1938. Version with sight glass in face. Has slightly different trim.
-G&B 96-HG: 1938. Short computer pump.
-G&B 96-DX: 1938. "Calco-Meter" Twin Pump
-G&B 97: 1938. Clockface version of the 96.
-G&B 297: 1938. Clockface pump with no ad glass.
-G&B 98: 1938. Computing pump with sight glass in face.
-G&B 98: 1938. Non computing pump for use in truck stops, taxi garages, etc...
-G&B 96B: 1940. Version with sight glass in the front panel above dial face.
-G&B 96B: 1938-1958. Twin pump with hoses outside. Non retractable.

These are fairly common out west too! I've had about 15 or so of these pumps, and the one below is a rustoration pump in my collection that I did about 4 years ago.

Braden,

Thanks for keeping this thread going.

I've attached photos of two pumps from my collection. Now that summer is finally here I can get some stuff out of the way so I can get photos taken

The Sunoco pump was restored about 15 years ago and is the last restoration I did. Now I leave my pumps in their as found condition.

I bought the pump and a year later I found picture of my dad as a teenager pumping gas from a Gilbarco 96
