Here
we have a Martin & Schwartz 80 gaspump done in Standard
Red Crown gasoline colors. These pumps were manufactured
in Salisbury, Maryland until the early fifties. About 1952
the Wayne Pump Company of Indiana purchased the company.
Thereafter all pumps were branded Wayne until the plant
closed in the early years of 2000. This pump was restored
and shipped to Southern California where it is now on view.

The
Gilbarco Sell-A-Vision is a very uncommon gaspump. It had
a backlighted message top which rotated. The message was
seen by the motorist as a reminder to "Change Your Oil"....."Check
Your Tires" etc. Very progressive for 1950's advertising,
don't you agree?
Now on display at a local museum.

This
Rapidayton was the last version of gaspumps manufactured
by the
Dayton Pump Company, Dayton, Ohio.
These pumps were very well engineered. Restored in Mohawk
gasoline. Mohawk was an Upper West Coast oil company.
Currently in a private collection in the Los Angeles area.

After
World War II pump sizes were
reduced to about 60 inches in height. Gilbarco was one of
the first to do so.
This is an example of a 900 Series pump restored in Mobilgas
Special colors.
A gentleman in Front Royal, Virginia has
it displayed in a backyard gas
station museum.

In
1958 the Wayne Pump Company was building these Multi-Blend
gaspumps exclusively for the Sun Oil Company. SUNOCO was
a popular gasoline then as it is now with auto racing fans.
These pumps are very sought after currently with muscle
car collectors. Being displayed locally at
a friend's auto collection.

SUNOCO
used a lot of Wayne/ Martin & Schwartz pumps during the
50's. This is called an adglass top for obvious reasons.
Restored in correct colors.
Resides in Southern, Maryland
