I got my catalog the other day and frankly I am amazed at the work it must have taken to put it together. I don't restore pumps anymore, but I was again amazed at the number of parts that are now available for anyone restoring a gas pump. When I think back to the 1980s when the only thing that was available were globes and decales, this hobby has come a long way.
My only complaint is you spelled my name wrong, it is Sim, not Simms.

Sorry Jack...we were under the impression that you were ex-Giants quarterback Phil Simms' father, what with all your big $$$ & fame. Just jokin', in a project that size, a few mistakes are inevitable. I'm gonna guess that it doesn't affect the sales of the Gas Pump Guide though. Seriously though, one of my employees is a graphic designer and she works 6 months straight every year putting it together. Hope you're impressed....Seth

In our initial mailing (10,000+) we don't send any international. Call one of the girls at 405.282.5586 and they will get one out to you asap.

Seth, I noticed that you have National A-62 faces listed in the catalog. Do they have the red "National" logo on them?

Hey...I was playing the hand I was dealt. Previous ownership felt it was more prudent to put in a price sheet so in the event that a new catalog wasn't neccessary, you could just send out an updated price sheet.
Well, it looks like a new one is coming out every year so I decided to say screw it and put the prices in. It was a six week proposition just to put prices in, but I like the result. Thanks for all the kind words.....you guys are nothing if not an ego-boost!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seth
