That's a nice pump! What year?

Nice job, these pumps are starting to grow on me.
Thank you everybody for the kind comments . Now I just need to find another 505 to make into a Sky Chief. Cheers
Very nice job. I restored a Wayne 500 a couple of years ago for a museum in the same red but not in Texaco. They wanted the pump to look exactly as it looked in the Wayne sales brochure of the time that series of pumps was introduced, right down to the Wayne promotional ad glass. The 500 is the same pump except it has a retractable hose. I have always like these pumps and still have a 505 and a 605 that I may restore one of these days.They are pretty common pumps, you shouldn't have too hard a time finding a twin to restore in Sky Chief ......GB
I have the same pump unrestored and haven't been able to decide which brand to restore it in. This makes me want to do Texaco. Is that a 13.5" or 15" globe?

Thank you! I sure hope to find a mate to this one.

Sorry it took so long for a response but this forum does not notify you when there is a comment. It is a 13.5". I always thought these pumps looked better with out the globe but always wanted one.
