Already in the 3rd book, when it comes out. It is the G&B T-4, introduced in 1903.

Here are some facts:

Go to G&B web page, it claims they made their first gas pump in 1910. Sorry, G&B, you made pumps as early as 1902, I have an advertisement that proves this. The pump you have along with about 20 others were all made between at least 1902 and 1910, it was just that G&B didn't bother to patent anything before 1910. I notified G&B about this way back before 2000 so that they could announce in 2002 that they had been making gas pumps for 100 years. Their website still states 1910.

Jack you are awesome!

The pump is not mine. It belongs to a customer.

I have done business with the folks at Gilbarco Inc. (Gilbarco Veeder-Root) for many years. We have done quite a few items for various people in the company, including Steve Moule the president of the company. So I reached out to them on this. Nobody knew anything about it. Apparently they have never actually kept a historical department.
I will pass on your information, maybe it will help.
That's again for your incredible bank of knowledge and maintaining the history of our hobby.
