36-40?? I arrived at this number by selling one or two, buying more and then not really knowing how to count. Of course if I actually count I might scare myself and not buy one for at least a good week:)

Use to have over 150 pumps and was told "What was I going to do make a fence." Sold a bunch and now down to about 30, and have had a chance to buy back some finished ones.

25 at one time down to 8 but at least 6 are in the house so that should count for something lol
Originals only for me. Always looking for Simpson oil, Super A, and MFA oil cans and globes.

I've had more in the past,but now I'm down to 8;3 restored,2 in what I consider displayable condition as found and 3 unrestoted I'm going to sell.
At this point I'm concentrating on building a brand specific replica station of some sort,then I'll get a few appropriate pumps.

Just got my first one. I've been wanting one for years - is this the start of many? Likely so...

oh man perfectio....you are in for a fun ride. The bug bit me a few years ago when I got a new garage. I said to my wife, "I'd just like to get 1 gas pump for the corner over there and maybe a sign or 2." I've got 12 pumps now and countless signs plastered over the walls and hanging from the ceiling. I like to call it a desease you actually don't mind having....
Mainly focused on Oilzum, Jenney, Harris Oil items & original paint gas pumps.

Only 8 currently, but I see several more in my future. I too only wanted one or two to put outside, then I got Jack's book and WOW, there were just so many cool pumps! As soon as I found one I would find another I liked. Only problem I have is they aren't cheap enough. Guess it's better than a drug habit though.

I got started in the hobby a little over 5 years ago, I have been hooked since! I currently have around 80 and hope to pick up a couple more over the weekend. I always regret selling pumps and have even gotten a few back in the past.

LoL
I lost count the last time I counted it was between 200 and 300 pumps and they are stored in four different states!
I have sold a lot this past year but still do not know how many are left! The crazy part about it I am always looking for more.
Happy Hunting,
Rob

WOW Rob! I currently have 25 in my collection and another 15 or so for sale. I need more room so I can keep more. I usually sell around 10 pumps a year. They just keep coming back as I buy others to replace the holes from the ones I sold.
