I seen this gas pump on craigslist. http://providence.craigslist.org/clt/788874430.html
It looks VERY early so I got out Jack's book. Looks to be a Kew-Ideal I think BUT I couldn't find it in the New or Old book?
I'm NOT interested in pumps so I thought I would show you pump guys on here!
Good Luck and I Hope it works out for someone who lives close to Rhode Island???

Cool pump there. Love the raised letters. I think it helps make it. I talked to the fella that owns it. He has done research on it & has traced the company to Chicago. Very nice fella if I could have it picked up I would try for it but shipping would cost a ton as it is made of 3/8in cast iron. A real back breaker LOL.

There appears to be some connection between Ideal (which I believe was in Boston) and the Kew-Ideal company of St. Louis. I mention this in the company history section of the new book under Kew-Ideal. Perhaps the Ideal company was purchase, brought to St. Louis and renamed Kew-Ideal.

LOVE IT !!!!!!

No critism, but what do you mean by "love it"?

I also "love it"... it is unusual, compact and would make a great static display in my collection. Don't know much about it other than it is unique.

I think it is an awesome pump, would look even better with a visible attachement, wish I was closer, I'd own it for sure!

i checked it out via email, it's located in rhode island and wants around #1000.00 for it. it's a nice item, but also too far for me.someone is going to get a nice buy

I knew you "pump guys" would like it!!!
I hope 1 of the oldgas members ends up with it and does all the research and restoration because I think it's uncommon!
Wonder if it had a chimney or globe holder??
It would look even better lit up!

I would have to say that is one of the best looking curb pumps I have seen.
The body style is unique and the lettering is fantastic.....what can I say I like the "uglies"

Last week he told me the price was $300. now his email says the asking price is $1200. I am not interested in playing his "how high will they go" game

When I talked to him on the 9th I offered him $500 & that was not enough. But he has it so what can ya do

som how this pump is for sale again, this time on ebay. must not have been happy with the offers on craigslist #290254691656

What do you mean by what do you mean?

Love it.

Not just another clam shell
