I forget the exact model number of this pump, ask Gary Drye, he might remember...but it is an american clockface, one of very few known, and there is only one known original top in existance to my knowledge because they were art deco milk-glass and didn't survived the test of time... so I bought a tok. 36-B top to go on it, and it fits pretty much perfectly, both of the sides to the pump were to far gone to try and restore, so I had new sides fabricated out of 16 gauge steel to be exact replicas of the originals... all the cast metal is in good condition...(base, window bezels top of frame where visigauge connects... the visigauge has been restored and fitted with new bolts as the old ones were to far gone to mess with...all the frame rails have been sandblasted primered, painted, the clockface mechanism works perfectly, the hands are in good shape.... this was going to be restored to wilshire's economy gasoline...thats why the two tone green colors.. but due to time and space issues I would like to either sell it or trade it for an item or items of equal value... this pump is about 75-80% restored with most all of the hard work done.. im located in western kentucky..

please ask any questions you may have at ethancarman@aol.com

American #50
Top should look like this [w/wo globe holder].


---Information on this pump was emailed to me as a Model 50. Have re-checked with the sender & he made a typo err. It is a 550---

Morgan, a clockface in storage???? That's terrible, would you store a Monet or a Chagall? I think the responsible thing to do would be sell that pump to someone who just built a nice big garage to display his pumps. If you need some help locating such a buyer, I'd be willing to help you out LOL

Is no one interested in this pump at all? I would trade it for some porcelain signs or other interesting items of equal value...or a combination of both.. I value it around $2000...

let me know..
Ethan
