These are fairly common out west too! I've had about 15 or so of these pumps, and the one below is a rustoration pump in my collection that I did about 4 years ago.
Wanted anything Flying A Gas, Signal Gas, Hancock oil co, and Sunland.
Thanks Anthony

Braden,
Thanks for keeping this thread going.
I've attached photos of two pumps from my collection. Now that summer is finally here I can get some stuff out of the way so I can get photos taken
The Sunoco pump was restored about 15 years ago and is the last restoration I did. Now I leave my pumps in their as found condition.
