Good Morning!
I'm sending a couple pics of a TOKHEIM 850 that I restored. It's my favorite because it has been in the family since 1948. My folks, Margaret Jean and Richard used this pump on the family farm. They are in their 80's but still on the farm.
Also pictured is my dog, BOWSER.
Jim will post these pics when he has time.
Thanks everyone for sending in their pics.

Thanks, Jerry for the kind words. You know, I think they were about as proud of the new paint job as I was. They ran the counter up 225,000 gallons and will celebrate their 62nd wedding anniversary next month.

If we could only find the glue that use
to hold pepole together and pass it on to
the younger ones,then we would all be a
better world.

Can we consider this a clockface? My National "Duplex"
Elvis, the guys have seen most all of my pumps several times, but I'll post a few again if you wish.

Bowser #410 "Xacto Sentry"

Wayne 866 (Wayne 60 Clockface)Porcelain doors.

G/B#66,G/B#105,Tokheim#950(square),Tokheim#850(round)Bowser#310 (Xacto Sentry)

Here is one just for kicks. It's an ashtray given away by the "Hayes" Co. The advertising is for the "Major Bowes" Radio show that Hayes sponsored. Anyone remember "Major Bowes"? The pump appears to be a Bennett#77, except the sight glass over the face is not correct. Any ideas why Hayes would give out a Bennett pump for display?

YO Lance,
I think the 1st picture is a pair of 132's.
150's have a price window above the face.

Thanks dodogas, Jerry and rex for the kind words about my folks. They used to say here in Nebraska that marriages tend to last longer here 'cause we need to hold on to each other because of all the wind we get. You're right many don't seem to work very long nowadays.
Yes, both the neighbor's pet mule deer and Bowser, a sharpei-blue heeler mix, are real. All the neighbors were busy calling around to check the whereabouts of the deer the last few days before deer season. He is only a yearling and has lots to learn. My son and I thought we could put a orange vest on him. No such luck. The owners brought their dog over and the deer followed the dog home 3 miles away to spend this week safely in their calving barn.
As for the TOKHEIM 850. Dad gave $50 for it in 1948 used from a TEXACO bulk delivery company with the idea of selling him lots of gas for the farm. He had it connected to 2 tanks ETHYL and BRONZE. When we wanted to switch over we would have to take the lower skin loose to turn the valves. It's a wonder they didn't get taken off and "gone with the wind". It came complete with a milk glass TEXACO globe. Sorry to say we get hail/wind occasionally and unfortunately, all that is left is a 2"X 3" piece from the very top of the globe that I found when I took off the top to restore the pump. I was old enough to remember Dad contemplating replacing the globe. I think he did once but the hail got it too.
Dad later switched from TEXACO to CO-OP and still is a faithfull customer buying everything from groceries, tires, fuel, battries etc.
Thanks for all the pics, guys. I hope more get posted. Nov. has 12 more days. There's just something about a clockface that everybody likes.
