Here is a photo of my 1928 Martin & Schwartz Model 19-A with my current project (1949 Ford Thunderturd). As soon as the Turd is done, I think it'll be time to restore the pump ! !
Awesome thread!~ I have an old G&B shell. Id like to make some shelves in place of where the pump goes and put all my diecast cars in. The only problem it wont fit in the house its over 7' tall! Im guessing its from the 20's curbside? After seeing all the pictures of them in front of fellow hammers shops and homes Im rethinking it would look good at the end of the driveway. Have the globe as a light.
I don't know if you all know or not, but there's a gas pump show in Seveirville,Tenn at a place called Dixie Gas, Sept 9th thru the 11th. Same weekend as "Shades of the Past". Just a FYI.
Just finished this one the other day. Early 1960’s Tokheim. Picked it up in a junk pile at the local Farm Burial coop. Nothing fancy, but I am proud of it. Looking for some information about a guy that sells gas pump parts around Indianapolis Indiana. Saw him at the Evansville gas pump show in 2010.

That double pump ,on the right, is the "Holy Grail" of vintage visible gas pumps. I heard these were in Canada only? Is this correct? Very nice collection of pumps & signs!! Still all together?
My next "big" purchase of something I don't really need is going to be a pump in this condition to go in my living room. This thing is gorgeous.
