I am fairly new to old gas pump collecting and restoration. I bought this pump as part of a package deal, having trouble identifying it. I thought it was an old early Wayne model but not sure. Would appreciate any help

Looks like a Southwest pump made for the Gulf Oil Corporation. I think it might be a model 455. A side shot showing the hose cover would help.

It could also be a Tokheim made for Gulf. The sight glass looks like a Tokheim 39 sight glass.

It looks like a Tokheim 876 or something close to me, due to the low profile base.

The doors are identical to the Tokheim 876 but the hose outlet cover isn't a Tokiem unit and the spinner in the sight glass appears to have two blades as opposed to Tokeim's four blades. Need to see more on the hose cover to be certain but I betting on a Southwest unit.

Just noticed the space between the top and the window frame. My Tokheim is on the far left. I stand corrected. To many variations of these pumps for me to make an easy identification. Need to do more homework before offering an opinion.

...it's a Tokheim 876, with what looks like a Tokheim 39 hose outlet cover...please post photos of the sides of the pump...


Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

The hose cover may not be original. The first pump on the left in the picture posted by Hardy's Garage appears to be a match (Tokheim 876) if we can assume the hose cover is not original. Also the 4th pump from the left looks like a Tokheim 876 but with tapered sides, chrome trim corners and a different wider base. After doing a google search I see pictures labeled as Tokheim 876 showing tapered sides, chrome trim corners and a wide base, and I see pictures labeled as Tokheim 876 showing straight sides like the picture on the left. Are these posts all correct just different year 876's?

Also I need to open the site glass and take a look at the spinner, it may not be original??

The 4th pump is an Erie 129 which is pretty much identical to the Tokheim 876 with the exception of the face plates. I have 9 different Gulf Oil Corporation pumps and have seen 3 Tokheim 876's with different external parts (mine has the stepped art deco hose cover like the Tokheim 36b) an 2 different National C-38 with different external parts.I sure there are many more variations.

Yes, 876. I would get the other hose outlet for it though (like on the 36b). It matches the top better.
