This may have been posted before so please forgive me if I’m repeating something but I didn’t see anything after doing a Google search.
I travelled to Fort Wayne Indiana this past weekend to attend a 50th fraternity reunion. When I mentioned my passion for collecting old gas pumps one of the brothers stated that he worked for Tokheim as a mechanical engineer back in the 1980’s. He went on to tell me that the factory was only a couple of blocks away from our college campus and that it had been closed for a number of years. I graduated in 1971, and never heard of Tokheim at the time, but that was well before I became interested in gas pumps in 1995.
Once I knew the factory was nearby I asked if he could take me by it. Attached are a couple of pictures I took. There are a couple of the main plant entrance and another showing the water tower with the Tokheim logo clearly visible. It was kind of neat to see where so many of my pumps came from.
