Hello everyone!

The pump of the month this month is the Bowser 555, 565 and 575 series of pumps! They were produced in the late 30's to the late 40's and are a fairly common pump. Nonetheless, they are pretty cool pumps! Please share yours or any info you may have on them!

Thanks everyone. Take care.

Here is my Bowser 555.

Several years ago at the Dixie gas show, Paul Hittle, that owns Severn Gas Pumps, had this unusual 4 ad glass cast iron top for this Bowser pump and I purchased it from him. After I purchased this top, naturally I had to buy this pump (thanks Paul)😂😂. At other gas and oil shows that I have been to, I have looked for another top like this one but so far I haven’t came across one. I would be curious to know if anyone else has seen one or has one like this.

I never seen one of those tops in person but someone posted a picture on here years ago. Because of the lift off doors, large side access door and no side ad glass it looks like it is possibly a 555.

Couple of mine.

Here’s a pair of Esso and Esso Extra 575’s I had picked up a while back.

One for me.

Here is mine!

Thanks Matt for posting a picture of that top. Any thoughts on if this was a add on for add glasses advertising a certain brand of gas. The shoe box top was it also a add on. Thanks.

Here are a couple of photos of three 565s that I restored about 20 years ago. Sold them to two different buyers but they all ended with up with one collector. I still miss the one with the raised base and the roller bars for the hose. I haven't seen another one. Also my keeper red 565 that I haven't touched. Cheers, Don.

Couple years ago, I went up North to get these.

Couple original paint and signs doors.
But no pump...

Great stuff so far guys!!

Here is mine and this was my first pump ever.

Here is a couple I used to own.

Matt after all these years I am still sorry I did not buy that red 555 from you at the show! I love the look of that pump!

Ok time for me to contribute to this awesome thread!

couple 575's that have been together all there lives

My black Bennett 555. I've had it for almost 20 years and still haven't found the time to replace some missing parts and install new wiring.

These were on ebay in 2011. Nice unrestred pumps. I wonder if they still look like this.

One that was offered to me a couple years ago.

Posting these for Racecop. First picture is a pair of doors he is looking for a pump to put on.

Great pumps you all!!

Here is my 575.

There was a purposebfor this somehow...LOL !

Here’s a 575 I completed this weekend. Restored to North Star Electro.

Matt, Love the Cobra picture. Is that Carroll Shelby hiding behind?

Shoulda grabed that signal one Dave! That model with Bowsers own computer and the 5 chrome strips is really hard to come by, my favorite of them!
