I love old gas pumps! Just like I love old soda machines!

I like the caster. I bet it makes working on the gas pump much easier.

I wouldnt buy the glass for what the repo companies are selling it for. I went to Lowes and bought all the glass for this Gilbarco pump I just restored for under $10.00. I made my ad glass because it wasnt available aftermarket to Lion

Pretty sure that Bennet pump has curved glass though , tough to buy at Home Depot.. best bet is Gas pump heaven.
