Can anyone help identifying the brand and model of the gas pumps depicted on the attached photos from 1947 and 1956?

NOT sure on pumps, but foreground of left picture is a nice shot of a George King street pole.

Guess. On the left the single pump looks like it has a Sunoco diamond with upper and lower stripes like they used on a Martin & Schwartz model 70. The 2 on the right appear to be also M&S model 80 with scriprt tops, Maybe saying MOBILGAS.

I agree with the MS 80 script top but given the proximity of the Sunoco sign pole, I am guessing Sunoco script tops.

Ron, What's the back story on the photos? History is always interesting on this site. Thanks, Bob

The top picture is an MS70. (Martin & Schwartz)
The second picture appears to be MS80’s. Hard to tell if the MS80’s are script tops. The white arch at the top of the pumps is too low for the script letter portion of a script top. I honestly think the white arch may be the reflection of light (i.e. the sun) on the contour of the tops of the doors (kind of like the lighter portion on the left side of the very top of the pump on the left and similar to the reflections off of the cars shiny paint).
