While vacationing, I ran across a gas station with an old Coke Machine and an old Amoco gas pump. I took a few photos of them, and measured their height by comparison to myself.

I don't think I'll ever do anything with these, but they may be of interest to some of you.

My dad has restored a lot of gas pumps, soda machines, has petroliana (old gas station stuff), has all kinds of 70s and older memorabilia, car stuff from the 60s on back (including 3 tri-five Chevys). I have some railroad items like memorabilia, tools, lanterns, etc. If anybody is looking for pictures or info as far as anything along these lines go just let me know.
Have a good one,
Sam

Thanks for supplying these very good photos. The gas pump is especially well presented with close to perfect oblique views of all sides and details of the gauge face and Bennett medallion. I wish I had pictures as good as these for other types of pumps for my gas station models.

And Sam, I may get back to you on the Petroliana materials. I've been collecting everything I can find on the web on vintage gas stations, for model work, it's sort of a background hobby of mine.
