Looking for a cover for this pump, think it's a Bennett.

Anyone got one or know where I might source one?

OK--I have a nice "Standard Oil" cover with the torch on it, that would have come on that pump. You can have it for $100, postage included. I can get a photo if you need one, but it will fit right on there.

That particular lubester was used by Standard oil and that mounting bracket never used a generic lid. Not to say you can't make one fit somehow?

SEVERAL Companies used that dispenser, not just STANDARD.

You really need to let all of us know who made this item. You called it a pump, it is more commonly called a lubster, or as I prefer, an oil dispenser. These came in many sizes, but the size doesn't matter when it comes to the lid (not cover). A lid for a Bennett will not fit a Tokheim, so you need to ID the dispenser as to who made it.

...it sure looks like a Bennett, from the shape of the brass tag where the pump mounts to the top of the tank...


Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

The Bennett 307 was part of the Highboy line.
