Looks very nice!! Great clean job!!
Have to say, a rectangular Fire Chief pump plate would look great on that!!!

According to Jack Sim's 2nd edition, it was made in 1936.

Did your pump already have the side ad glass in it or did you find it somewhere? I am going to start working on mine soon and not sure where to find the side ad glass at.

Some vendors with cut the ad glass to your size or you can buy a size close and have your local glass shop cut them for you. That is what I did for mine.
