Hello Guys, Would appreciate any help on the old Indian Motorcycle Gas pump. I have included a photo. Was told that it was used many years ago by an Indian Motorcycle Dealer in their shop. Looks to be a Tuthill. Was told that the Indian Dealer used it to fill up the customers gas tank with free gas each time they had service done in their shop to keep'em coming back. Might be why they used the Tuthill since it didn't need to register dollar amount. Anyway, was looking for any input on what age it might be and what the value might be Thanks for any help. Best. Blair

You have been lied to. That's a 1960's farm truck with a recent fantasy globe.

1st off- Welcome to Oldgas. I agree with Dave,I would have to get it from the Indian dealer first hand before I would buy that story. The hose is long enough to fill tractor trailer tanks from wrong side. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong,but I think all Indian globes are fantasy pieces.
Hey my dad had a friend ,he couldn't tell the truth if he tried,just wasn't in his makeup.I think you might have ran into some of his kin-folk.

Thanks Guys for your help and honest opinions. I just contacted the Ebay seller who sold me the farm gas pump as a 1930's Indian MC pump. He was willing to send my payment back to me. This really shows me how beneficial your quick and collective responses can make a difference. Keep up the good work and great site! Best, Blair

Here's a cool globe that would work great for a Indian Motor Cycle Dealership Gas Pump
