I have had this pump for years and finally started the resto on it last fall. Just finished it tonight and it looks even better than I imagined. The lead signs are the original ones that came on the pump when I found the doors laying on the ground completely covered with soil. I felt them when I walked on them and they were in good shape (doors and signs) when I pulled them out. The lead signs are the ones without the black border or the black around the mouting holes. I really liked them so I knew I had to use them back.
Many thanks go to out to Ron Scobie, GPH, Vic's, Harvey, T-Way, & Racecop for making this thing happen. Here is a before and some after pics. Sorry about the dark finished pics but they are the best I could get at the moment.

Thanks for the nice comments. I was a little worried about too much silver but it has enough stainless and plating to make it pop and I had Harvey polish the nozzle, nozzle reciever and off/on assembly so it has some bling.
I would have to check the dates but Sinclair used the silver ethyl pumps in the mid to late thirties.
