An antique dealer I know called me and said he'd bought the contents of a garage and in it was a gas pump that was too heavy for him to move and he wanted to make a quick sale. I went and picked it up today and the tag says T-177. It has some minor differences from other G&B visibles I've seen that I thought were interesting and I thought I'd get some input from the experts.
The small lights that protrude form the top cover are unlike any I've seen on G&B pumps. Are they original?
The base is cast iron, not stamped metal.
It has a bronze banana nozzle that might be original?
The long side door has no gallon selector
Any thoughts? I plan to keep this pump and display in front of my garage as a "Esso" pump.

Lights look like the ones on my 177. Only difference I see is mine has external gallon numbers.

The nozzle is period correct, but looks like a repro. My 177 had oval cast iron light fixtures with oval porcelain sockets. Inside the long door was one gallon stop at the 10 gallon position; useless. There would have been a shut off valve with a weighted handle with G&B cast into the weighted end. My 177 had interior gallon markers.
