Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion visible gas pump...no clue brand/model any here?

The story I got was...the older man I talked to. It was his grand pa farm. He had just lived there for 4-5years. Was a big junk pile that insted of hauling stuff off they just took out back
He said they had drove over the pile with a frontend loader a few times before knowing what the pump was
I had asked if he had any other signs or auto/oil related? He looked before I came up. Said there was nothen
Was a lil town bout 40 miles north of st louis close to the mississippi. But I cant remember the name of it now

Did some looking and the town is elsberry mo.

Till I was 10, we lived 12m N of Bolivar.
Where are you?
By adding a City/Town to your Profile, it will be easier to find other collectors in your area or some passing thru might contact you to swap stories/stuff.

I have a piece of sales lit. for the G 500 if that is what your pump is, will try to post it tomorrow, it's in color.

A little info. about dating visible pumps.

First visible was the Fry, (I think it was a Fleckenstein but I can't find proof of that) around 1917. Most companies were reluctant to jump into making them so they made visible attachments. Around 1922 the majors started making visibles and they started to faze them out around 1928. The last visible was made by Wayne in 1947. So, if you don't know the exact date it is safe to say "around 1925."
