Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums Showcase and Stories, Petroliana POTM “Pump of the Month” June 2021

Hello everyone, thank you all for another good month. We didn’t have as much participation, but those southwest pumps are hard to find. I really appreciate all of you guys posting and having conversations on these POTM posts. For the month of June I am picking Wayne 70 models. These pumps are pretty basic and simple, but are very beautiful pumps. This POTM (Pump Of The Month) with include the following model numbers.

Manufacturing dates: 1937-1948

Wayne 70-C: computer
Wayne 70: computer, 4 ad glass, 2 ad glass, no ad glass, ad glass above face, ad glass above sight glass.
Wayne 876: clockface
Wayne 876: non-computing
Wayne 70-T: Tydol pump
Wayne 71: display pump
Wayne 577-R: outside sight glass
Wayne 72-R: aka the Firestone pump

This POTM includes ONLY the models listed above. As always please let me know if I missed anything or if I have a model number wrong, wish I had the old Jack Sim book. Since I do not have any of these Wayne 70 models, here is a picture of my great uncles station in my dads hometown back in the day. Would love to someday buy this station back and put a 39 and 70 out front again. Thank you all for everything and enjoy this month of June!

70 with small cast windows.

Here are my 70`s and 71.

A couple of large cast windowed 79's. Every large cast windowed pump I have found had a brass tag saying they were made in the West coast plant. Richard

I never knew there we that many 72R's left. Beautiful work!

Wayne 70's with nozzle assembly like the Wayne 100's. Richard

The guard around the nozzle rest is to keep the hose from getting caught on the rest.

Here's a few more. Richard
