In all my years at this I have never seen this. I pulled this pump out to clean and seal it to protect the water slide decals but I never noticed that one side with the face plate and water slide decal it was hand painted to match the other side. All said and done someone did a pretty good job and obviously had a lot of free time on their hands.

The other weird thing is it has a cast base and I thought they were only used on four ad glass pumps, this Tok is a 39 NAP.

Has anyone else seen or have a pump that this was done on? Sure would like to see yours, thanks.

If in fact it was built in August 1946 thats my birthday so another strange thing having this pump.

I have never seen a cast base on a short 39, but I that is just my experience . Yes , I agree. Some one sure did have a lot of time on their hands. The lettering on the face plate is very nicely done. And it looks like the whole thing is home made , The hole for the spinner the squares holes for the price and gallons are not perfectly true openings.

That is not a short, it is a tall with no ad glass. I have not seen one with a cast base either. I thought the cast base came only on the four ad glass model but have also seen an unrestored two ad glass with a cast base.
