Hello everyone I'm new to the page and woe there are some beautiful pumps on here. I'm stumped on identifying mine and it's age. It's definitely super early. Looks like a Bowser to me but there is no tag stating Bowser or any name.it does have Union Pacific Gasoline brass plate as well as St Helen's Green Gasoline . It also has a Property of The Penzoil Co. As for stamps it has E154 on the base, E157 by the pumping mechanism and E171 up towards the top. It's in working order. It's just eluded me on actual name and year. It's non visible so It's old. Any help on identifying would be welcomed and a great learning experience as it has already taught me more than I originally knew about pumps. Thank you.

Welcome to the site!
Cool pump with very cool brass tags!
It's called a pre-visible gas pump and those are from the 19teens to 20s. From the markings, I would Guess it's a Erie but I have no idea for sure. I also have a Union brand pre-visible pump that does not have a id tag but the large parts have "M&S #" cast into each so my assumption is that it's a Martin and Schwartz and the #'s are assembly order??
Yours is in very nice condition and should be worth more than mine but I don't know where that market is right now.

Per Jack Sim gas pump book it looks to be a G&B 9 from 1910-1915 roughly.
