Here is an artists rendering that shows the winged "A" decal on the end of the shoebox body. The second picture is from a small foldout Bennett brochure. It has some information on the 135, 145, 155 and 165.





I think this is a 135 with the Vento type eliminator with See-gauge refill.

Here is a couple stations with Erie 771s. They could possibly be 77s but I think they are 771s.

This is what the shoe box holder looks like for an Erie 77 and 771.

Here is a Fling A station with a couple shoe box pumps. One is a Tokheim 36B-TW and the other looks like an Erie 771.

This is am Aqua 850T. It was found by an oldgas member and resold a while later.

Thanks for sharing this knowledge & all Matt!

A lot of cool pumps and information in this post
Thanks

Great post!!!

I am glad there is some enjoyment from this thread. I am out of stuff until I come across some pictures or get new pumps. It would be nice if anyone had something to add to it.

Here is a couple pictures from four years ago. For a short time I was lucky enough to end up with two extra shoe box globes. One ended up on my Wayne 70 and the other on my Gilbarco 89. I still wanted to do more pumps so I contacted Paul Bell about making them. His Erie 70 tops are nice and knew he could do a nice shoebox body. Now I can do more shoebox pumps. Maybe there are collectors out there buying them to top off their pumps. Hopefully some will end up on this thread.

Very enjoyable and informative thread !

Thanks Matt

I found one I forgot to post. They are Bowser 557`s.

Here is the newest addition to the shoebox pump collection. Very happy to have it.

I did this pump about a year ago and realized I did not add it to this thread. It technically is not done. I still need to put the vertical trim moldings on the back door and put some decals on the doors. It is a Bowser 565.

Matt would you share your process on what type of paint used and how you achieved the patina /and crackled effect .Very impressive.

I learned this process from this thread: http://oldgas.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=689667
