Hello everyone, name is Larry from California, while remodeling a house in San Francisco came across another contractor next door also remodeling that residence. In his garage was this Bowser what I believe to be a previsible gas pump. They didnt want it, headed for the dump and I said Ill take it, I'm a sucker for cool old stuff. Can anyone shed any info on this for me. I believe from what i've gathered online that it may be around 1910. But i dont know model number or any other particulars. Looks kinda cool next to my 1953 Gilbarco 904 Mohawk.
Brass tag on it says, Established Bowser 1885
Long Distance
Little Giant
Gasoline Storage Outfit
Pat'd By
S.F. Bowser & Co. Inc.
Pump No. A 23078
Fort Wayne, Ind. USA
Tried to attach pics. but manager wouldn't allow, said file to big.
Thanks guys,

Thank you gentlemen for all the welcome aboard replies. Guess my pictures came through after all. I'm hoping someone out there can shed some light on the age of this pump. I'm guessing @ 1910?
