Good evening everyone!

I apologize I am 2 days late on the pump of the month for August 2018. I just got home from Iowa, what a fantastic trip. The pump of the month for August 2018 is the Bennett 76 series of pumps. These are fantastic art deco looking pumps from the 30's. They have a very unique sight glass and spinner assembly The pump could have came with either a visi gauge or an inside sight glass assembly. Here is the pump models included in this month.

-Bennett 76: 1935-1939. Pump with a two or four ad glass top. Also came with factory ad glass covers for the top.
-Bennett 77 & 77A: 1935-1939. Clockface version of the 76. Also was a hand crank option for no electricity areas.

The above information is from Jack's fantastic book. Please share the pumps you have everyone! Thank you and lets have a great August!
