Had my own shop in the 80's and the Quaker State distributor loaned me one just like yours. I THINK? it was Tokheim brand. Are you going to clean the oval label at the bottom of the pump to see the maker's name? DON'T touch anything else, 'cause that dude has perfect patina!:D

Sadly those pics are from the ad Before I bought it, they "cleaned" it up for me before I got there......she meant well :o. Here's the after as it sits now:

Trying to find out what sticker is underneath the "coach" oil sticker. Her 85+ year old dad used it for many years as a waste oil container, I cleaned the tank out, cleaned the pump out, filled it with 30 gallons of fresh oil and put it back into service :D. Already done a few oil changes with it, I need to find another one for waste oil.

That is what I often used in my september 29 , back then. The bulk oil looked as purty as light colored honey. I wouldn't mind haveing and old rack of bottles and spouts for a display. I'm thinking about turning the big room on the north side of my house into my model A room. I could have some of my carburetors displayed. I could organize my model A books and literature.

Here's my Master brand oil bottles and rack displayed beside my 1910 Milwaukee Tank Works "gallon measure" gasoline pump in my living room. The other pic is my Gilbert & Barker T-176 gasoline pump that is branded in "Flying A" colors that is in the foyer near the front door. Doesn't everyone have gas pumps and oil bottles in their living room? BTW, my wife thinks they are great!

Re: Old Timey Bulk Oil Dispenser

Those are all great collectors items. The oil bottles and rack are like the ones that I remember. Thanks for your reply and pictures.

Re: Old Timey Bulk Oil Dispenser

I bought mine already painted red with no logo. Since I collect Texaco, that's what would go on it.
