What make and model is this pump? I have two square Australian visible Bowser's that I have to restore one of these days.

Hi all the petrol bowser is called a Dominion which was made in the 1920-30s made in a state called south Australia in Australia.
When manufacturing was strong in Australia we use to manufacture petrol bowsers. So this pump is quiet unique, this pump is hard to come by. Not all globes were flat lenses, l will take some photos of what we have in Australia and post it on the forum

Down Under, ALL FUEL Pumps are referred to as BOWSERS.
Fuel Dispensing pumps in the USA that were Manufactured by BOWSER are referred to as BOWSER'S.
