O K , histerical buffs, heres one :

I've been collecting pictures of Los Angles service stations in peticular stations for quite some time . I wantto do a model from somewhere in the late thirties to early fourties .

With that said , I noticed the major players here , Boyd-Dayton , Keese, and to some extent , Rheem never seem to have installed pumps that accepted a globe . You never ever see them except on rare occasion. Now , how rare then are the "Real " surviviors of this era ? Ed Shaver

I have a Rheem double that has globe mounts and attachments for the light bulb like none I have seen. In fact used to have a single the same way. Both looked like the Bennetts except for that point. Notice in the picture the gray pump and the light mounts on the globe mount.

West coast Richfield did not ues globes very often. I have owned Bennett 500, 600, 700 series and Tok tall 39s that were originaly Richfield and they had the block off plates on them.
