I am unable to make out the address, usually printed at the bottom. If it does not show a zipcode.....it will be pre 1963? Soldered seams, I think, were still being used in the 60's? Paul www.severngaspumps.com

There is no zip code on it, but there is a mark that says "vl-10-5" made in usa. october 1950? i guess it would have a zero after the five in that case, no?

thanks

In GP Restoration guide the Chevron logo with the three bar chevron is being used on pump plates and decals from 1955.
It may have been usd on other Standard oil applications much earlier.

PM Thunder, isn't he the Standard/Chevron expert around here?
