I just bought this wood gas pump shelf for my sons room. I’m going to paint it up Polly of course and throw some decals on it. Question, what pump does this most resemble to you guys? I want to order some gas pump signage (Tokheim, Wayne, Bennett, etc) and just want to try and be a little accurate with it. Fingers crossed it turns out like what I have pictured in my mind.

Thanks

It looks like a M&S 70

I agree. Martin & Schwartz 70 from late 30's.

Here’s the finished product. Added some color changing led lights inside to light up the ad glass.

I like it! Nice job. If it were mine I would buy a set of reproduction faces and mount them in the top section with fake numbers behind them. If you do this it will really pop and look like a real pump from 10 feet away! What are your thoughts??

That’s a good idea. I’ve got a few old faces laying around, I’ll throw one in there and see how it looks.
