Been watching these pumps for twelve years........
I drove past this house in a little town called Waupun about twelve years ago. It was in the winter and I spotted a yellow and red gas pump behind the house. I stopped and backed up and saw two visibles next to it. There was a Tok 36B, an American Visible and a Mae West. I went up to the house and rang the bell and asked about the pumps. The lady was very nice, but said they were not for sale. I thanked her and left my card. I watched the pumps for two more years and decided to send them a letter showing my interest. The lady very kindly responded, but again said the pumps were not for sale. For the next ten years I sent them a Christmas card every year. Last week she called me and said "Are you still interested in the gas pumps?" Of course I said yes. The yard has grown up around the pumps, but there they were. The 36B had come from the Peters Oil Co. there in Waupun. I have a Wayne 40 that came from the same company many years ago. We also acquired an Air Whip I have never seen before. The pictures tell the rest of the story.
