Hello everyone and thank you for a great month of September! We had a lot of participation last month which was awesome, so keep it up!
This month I chose to do the Gilbarco G&B 86 Calco-Meter pump. I will also include the G&B 86 twin, and the G&B 87 which is the clockface version of the 86. These are fantastic looking pumps! They have a clean simple look to them, but the chrome accents and unique bezels and faces makes this pump stand out. They either came with an all metal sided top, or with ad glass in the top.
Here is the info from Jacks pump book.
- G&B 86: 1936. "Calco-Meter" computer pump.
- G&B 86: 1936. "Calco-Meter" twin computing pump.
- G&B 87: 1937. Non-Computing clock meter pump.
My brother and I bought this pump together out of a shed in Kansas. When we bought this pump the whole inside was packed full of brown recluse spiders, so I thought it was fitting for this month! Please share your G&B 86’s!
Have a great month everyone! Happy Halloween! 🎃
