Hello Oldgas, I came across a great, rare find this Saturday! The story starts out at 7:30 a.m., I was checking a local classifieds website and there was an add on there for an "Old Antique Gas Pump" and so I immediately called the guy and had him text me pictures of it. When I received the pictures I almost jumped out of my seat!! It was a Wayne 60-S Showcase pump! And like most of you all probably do, I had my concerns. So I loaded up my trailer and my Dad and I left town after work for a short 45 minute drive to check it out. When we got there we opened up the barn door and the owner pointed to the pump in the corner of the building. After checking the I.D. tag and the light manifold set up I was for sure it was a legit Wayne 60-S. The owner says the pump was still hooked up to an underground tank 12 years ago when they bought the place and pumped farm diesel. When they moved there they unhooked the pump and sat it in the shed and it has been there ever since. It also came with a perfect Glass Wide Body Globe with one Skelly lens that was also on the pump. I am a VERY PROUD new owner of an all original and complete Wayne 60-S Showcase pump!!!
