1oldtimer,
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!

Purdy,
Chief had a Conoco station in Okla. in '44 & '45 & one of my jobs was to keep those oil bottles full. The metal snout had a cap, was it chained to the snout??? I can't recomember fo' sho' I must, I must, I MUST! get one of those afore I get OLD & die. If someone wants to sell one, P.M. me. Bill W.
