Can anyone tell me what model G&B this clockface unit fits? Your help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Been looking for that one for awhile

Hi Guys,

Just joined, I have grew up around automotive and gas memorabilia. My dad collected a bit of everything over the years, which I have inherited now. I will hopefully post some here as well as look for guidance on what some is / era.

Thanks!

No you didn't. I think you balanced the colors perfectly, good contrast. The silver numbers pop on the black. I feel that in the hobby of pump restoration an artistic license is required. Remember, it is all about having fun. Your talent shows.

Not sure where/what he searched to find nothing on them.

I hope you found the Hood Tire & Rubber Co writeup useful. Its nice to see a "youngin" with interest in this stuff, and not just another picker looking for values/etc...

Unfortunately, the vast wealth of knowledge from the members here isn't shared anymore. 20 years ago, different story. (Pre-picker show)

Im guessing this is 50s era? Wish i could help with your questions. I don't have any info on the sign of subject, to speak on it.

Thanx for the kind words Fred!
You and others on here are still welcome to come by! I plan on finally building on the property and plan to have it as my home base till I'm gone from this world.
I will still be buying and selling, just no more trying to maintain a "antique store" that is open to the general public. I will probably keep advertising with most of my websites for buying petro but also started ibuybrokenevs . com and starting a whole new adventure with that. So hopefully I'll still be around on here for a long time to come. Once a petrohead, always a petrohead!
Nope, she's too precious to ever give up and probably the only thing NFS in the pic!

Good to see you on the site, Dave. Good luck with your business transition. So, how much is the doggie in the trailer? 🙂

Thanks! I hate red and white, that would be the normal "go to" colors for Mobil. Some of the older Mobil stuff used red/black, we probably overused the black but I think some artistic license is OK. We saw some other Simplex pumps painted this way, liked it, so we decided to go this route.

Looks great! Nice work!

First rate Paul. Interesting choice of colors for Mobil. I wouldn't necessarily think of using black. It works well for the pump.

Thanks Dean! Forgot to mention my father restored this one, all I did was the Mobilgas sign and the silver lettering.
