Ok a buddy of mine picked this up and is a pretty knowledgeable guy. He says that this is / was possibly dedicated Marathon Tokheim and it has a porcelain finish any help would be appreciated.

Yep......high probability if it's a white porcelain Tok it was made for use at a Marathon station.....Their pumps were plain, just white with Marathon ad glass and sometimes a globe or a decal on the door.

But isn’t that an odd place for the sight glass? Every 300 minutes be seen has it on the side and the 39s have it in the face plate that looks more like aBennett or Gilbarco door to me which is why I’m asking. Does anyone have a pic?

Take a look at pages 348 and 349 of my new Gas Pump Identification book (the Gas Pump Bible) and you will see that your pump is not a Tokheim. Page 211 of the same book shows that your pump is either a Gilbarco 904 or 906. The top of the door of the Gilbarco pumps has a wing and above it is the sight glass. My new book will make a nice Christmas gift, just leave this page of my website open for your wife to see, she will get the idea. www.gaspumpbible.comJack Sim

Thanks for all of the responses. I got a chance to look at it today. The previous owner took the sides and face plate from a 300 as well as the associated computer. Then it was put on a Gilbarco pump frame with the doors. The sides / shoulders had metal tabs welded on the inside so the 300 parts would bolt to the frame. Thankfully he didn’t pay much at all for it and it will be an outside pump.
