Then you also did your homework and noticed it is a REPRODUCTION!

Check out Adam's Homepage in his profile. http://www.pilotdisplays.com
"Welcome to Pilot Displays" Wayne 50 Showcase Reproduction Gas Pumps

This reminds me of the "fake" Tokheim Model ADC showcase that was on eBay for $30k.

QUOTE: "Our flagship pump, the Wayne 50 Showcase, has set the industry standard in vintage gas pump reproduction. This is a 100% correct and absolutely flawless example of a Wayne 50 gas pump. It looks exactly like new old stock straight out of the box from 1935."

but it's NOT an ORIGINAL...

My clue is promoting your business of gas pump reproduction(s) on Old Gas. There is a difference between restoring an original back to it's glory, and making copies. Reminds me of REPOPS! It's a free country to do as you wish, but watch out for the STORM!!

I gotcha. Thanks for noticing. This pump has been a tremendous challenge and we just finished the prototype 4 days ago.

Pretty impressive work.

Hopefully these are permanently marked with date of manufacture.

Accusing members of plagiarism & then selling repro pumps... ironic to say the least. Is Wayne Fueling Systems getting royalties off any sales you make?

They appear to be of quality craftsmanship... but I would like to hear how a person can distinguish these clearly from an original.

I was thinking someone else here on this site made one a couple years ago in Polly and it was for sale.


Originals only for me. Always looking for Simpson oil, Super A, and MFA oil cans and globes.

Here is your answer taken from their website:
Unless someone has been tipped off beforehand, there is no way the naked eye can tell the difference between a Pilot Displays replica and the real thing.

IMO... not good news!!

I was wondering when we was going to get to the pump. Should be big hit with the man cave guys. Welcome to Oldgas enjoy.

That's interesting. How have you been paying the royalties? Did Wayne set up a special account to accept your payments? Was Wayne receptive to having you produce a knockoff of their pump? How did you first contact Wayne about your idea? Just curious but it seems like it might be difficult finding the right person who would oversee this joint venture? The work looks good but it is a Fantasy piece and at $8500.00 quite pricey at that. Paul www.severngaspumps.com
