In this day of social distancing and no swap meets I thought I would take you on a tour of my pump collection. There are no duplicate pumps.

Richard, Very impressive collection. It looks great. I love the green & black color combo on your General Gasoline Tokheim 34. Very sharp. I also like your Bay Gasoline 5 gallon visible. Bay is a Michigan gas  I have the 6' sign. -Steve

WOW!
What a collection.
Why no hoses and nozzles?
Thank you for sharing.

Incredible, I have to ask how long you have been in the hobby and how many pumps are pictured. Neil in Green Bay

Very nice! I'm sure your proud, and who wouldn't be, of what you have managed to collect. Love all the clockface pumps.

I've been collecting gas pumps for between 25-30 years. Back then the EPA shut down the farmers from pumping gas because their under ground tanks might be leaking. I bought a lot of pumps for scrap prices back then. I'm cheap and don't pay a lot for a gas pump. Collector friends will give me good deals on pumps they want to get rid of because they know I'm a collector and very seldom do I sell anything. There are two reasons I don't use hoses and nozzles on my pumps. The main reason is space. I can get more pumps in the room if I don't have hoses on them. The other reason is cost. I have 126 pumps in the room. I would rather buy another pump than spend the money on the hoses and nozzles. I restore the pumps in the winter months when I have the extra time. Richard
