I live in Muskegon Michigan where Bennett Pump Company and Zephyry Oil (Naph-Sol Refinery) were located. Found out earlier in the year that Zephyr Oil sold a lighter version of kerosene in the 50s and 60s under the Blu-Flame name. Happened to be searching craigslist in Northern Michigan when I found this pump. I couldn't believe there was a survivor out there! And it is a Bennett 966! An 8 hour drive later I dragged it back home in pieces. Searched oldgas.com and found an original globe for sale in California? Don't know how it ended up out there. Contacted fellow oldgasser Frank on the globe and he was happy to unload it. Said that he had it for years and no one knew what oil company it was. So the Blu-Flame Bennett is back where it all began. Thanks Frank for the globe, Jarvis for the trim and Gene Miller for the advice.
Looking for Zephyr (Naph-Sol Refinery)items.

Great find. Wonderful that a survivor is in the hands of a local enthusiast who appreciates it. The globe literally tops it off.
