Gasboy was the name given the pumps. They were made by Wm. M. Wilson's Sons, Inc. of Lansdale, Pennsylvania. I don't know when they went in business, but the earliest piece of literature I have, is dated 1947. They started listing the Ontario, Canada plant about 1964 the time your pump was introduced. Wilson always referred to their pumps as "Consumer" pumps, another word for commercial, or farm pumps. The did not make pumps for service stations. None of their pumps would caculate price. The company everntually merged or were acquired by Tokheim.
