IMO from 1960 & older, there are no ugly gas pumps! Some are just a little prettier than others! Sam

Thats a tough one.A wayne 60 is hard to beat,but for me I love the MS 80 script tops all of them are cool.I really like them when they are lighted up at night.I'll throw the National 38 in there too. Joe

Joe either you have bad taste or have the new edition of the book! I guess I would vote for the pumps at today's stations. Big ugly boxes, no style at all, will never be collected. John

Hi Guys,
The question was asked so I'll answer it. My least favorite pump (I DID NOT SAY UGLY) is any clockface.I just cannot relate to one of them,and further,I think it's really hard to build an eye catching display around one. But then that's the way I do things;coordinated displays. Nothing more.
Am I in trouble now?

Joe, in the Jack's new book that's a pretty nice looking clock face pump! a plump pump! OldIron do you have a "clock phobia" ????? For the worst pump on second thoughts the new pumps with 5 digits for price!

I'd trade either of my Romans or twin 850 for THAT UGLY BD #1935 PUMP, JOE.
My vote for Least Favorite has to be the bolt together frame BOWSER.

I am not fond of the Wayne 100-A, but I haven't met a clock that I didn't like. Brady
