A few more pictures were emailed. These belong to Norman. This is a bowser model 575. I have seen pictures of Bowser 557, 565, 575 and 585s with shoebox globes.

Here is a new one for the thread. To date it's the only one I've been able to locate. It's an Aqua Systems 800T. Excuse the homemade shoebox globe. Second is a 36B Tydol survivor.

This thread is absolutely awesome!!

My Neptune 855-T, complete with original ad glass.

And a shot of the specific top for this pump. It's never been apart since Neptune put it together originally.

Came to me from the Left Coast.

I had it brought to Iowa Gas a couple of years ago along with another 855.

Then I brought them to Michigan from there.

Later . . .

Nice pumps, thanks for adding to the thread.

Here is a picture of what I thought were Wayne 60Ts but after looking closer I think they are Aqua 800Ts. Look at the side of the pump, it has a long nozzle receiver like Eric`s 800T.



This is the only old picture of Neptune 855-Ts that I have.

Matt, Great photo! I'll have to bring the magnifier out this evening but you might be right!

Here is a Bennett 155 that belonged to Don Sherwood. He did a rustoration on it. This is the pump that got me started on doing them. The white one is what he started with.

Here are a couple early pictures of Wayne 60Ts at the station. The first picture also has a Tokheim 39TW on the island. Also notice the advertising on the lower door of the pumps. It is the same as the Bowser posted earlier that belongs to Norman.



This photo has an early version Bennett 155 in between the two Wayne 60Ts. Also note that the Bennett appears to be silver and black. The Tydol Ethyl pumps before switching to the green were cream and black with a alternate image of silver and black.

Women like shoes and I think they like shoe box pumps too.

A couple more station pictures with Wayne 60Ts

LMAO!...Mark, I don't even want to know how you found that video...


Awesome thread Matt!

Ever wonder how often pumps are passed around. My Bennett 155 has had at least six owners (including me) that I traced back. It has been in at least four states and has traveled coast to coast. Here are some pictures of what it looked like through the owners.

Here are a couple stations with Bowser shoebox pumps.

Here is a couple more old shots. First is a Tokheim 36B-TW and a Wayne 70, the second is a Tokheim 36B-TW.
