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

FOR THE NEWBIES;
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.

I will take a few photo's of them and post them next few days. They are all apart. Tony, here's a few pictures of my pumps. New skins were fabricated (I have the original skins). Pumps got as far as the new skins getting the skins fitted and marked for all the cut outs. I have all the pieces. Cast pieces with the selector levers to select how many gallons to be dispensed. Pumps are stored in my trailer so it is difficult to take better pic's.

What a fantastic restoration - well done. We are about half way through a restoration of the same pump, they are not a straight forward restoration.
