This is a popular photo. Certainly a unique style. I have seen it and several other shots of this station posted here over the years.
Just wondered if anyone has ever restored a pump to look like this?

I've never seen that theme on a restored pump but it would be a cool project. I'd have to look it up but not sure what those pumps are and I always wondered what globe they used. It looks like it was probably some lighting globe adapted to those pumps to resemble the tapered end of an ear of corn.

Not Butler's as they have a hexagon base (6 sides) and not square (4 sides). I think they are Clear Vision's 206 or 208.

Haha! And yes to verify they are Clear Vision pumps. It would be awesome to see one restored like that.
