I picked up a Wayne Model 70 gas pump today... they were built from '37-48 and are fairly common so there's a lot of reproduction parts available for them, but they're a very "classic" looking gas pumpso they're pretty popular... paid $250 for it. thumbsup

 

Here's an example of a restored one... (on B-J so the price is nearly double what they typically are worth)

It wasn't actually on the garage sale, but showing up in a Model T helps to get invited to check out peoples' other treasures. cool

It looks like it was originally green, so maybe Sinclair

The globe is gone, and it has CO-OP lenses in the side panels, but those could have been replaced at a later time. It was brush painted red at some point too.

I can make it whatever brand I feel like... just about anything is available. http://www.vics66.com/store/gas-pump-parts/wayne-gas-pump-parts/wayne-70-pump-parts-1937-1948/

For now it will just sit in the shop in a corner until I finish some more important projects up. doh

My brother-in-law helped set it up... he brought all the shims, hammer drill, and bit from his work. Setting up the posts was very easy with the tractor.

I don't know what I'd do without a tractor... glad the pump was only a mile from home!

Gas is only 20.9 cents... says so right on the pump. :)

The total price only has 3 digits, so $9.99 is as high as it goes, and at 20.9 cents, it would take 47.8 gallons to get there.

Derek, with the current price of gas ($4.29-9 in Eagan), you might want to see if there's a maybe a gallon in the hose of your new pump.  hyper

 I don't remember gas at 21 cents a gallon but 23 -25 was common when I started driving. I got a new Honda 350 in '68 and drove it across the street to fill the tank. 3.5 gallons was less than a BUCK !! I had enough left to drive down the block to McD's and get a hamburger and fries for about 28 cents...thumbsup

 

Jeeeeez...........I'm OLD......rolleyes

Dating myself here,  15 cents and less when they had the penny gas wars in the late 50's.   12 cents a gallon (no tax)  @ Sandia Base, NM  whenI was in the military in 71.  But then my monthly salary was about $95.

I think I may have found where it came from... we went out to eat tonight for my birthday (31 yesterday) and next to the table was a picture from the '40s of a CO-OP gas station in Rochester that was built in 1940 and torn down in 1977.

Here's a picture of it in the early-50s, but the pumps are different... however, the picture from the '40s clearly showed Wayne Model 70 pumps just the same as mine, with the same green/white paint scheme as what's under mine, and mine still has the CO-OP lenses.

South Broadway and 6th Street. It's an empty lot now, formerly Burger King and most recently a Mexican restaurant.

Very cool. Probably a busy station in its day by mayo and downtown. Also right by the river so if it wouldn't have been torn down in 77 it would have been under water in the 78 flood.
