Dimenssion: L: 7.5 W: 4.5 H: 21 InchesHistory: The first gas pumps were built in the 1880s by the Bowser Company in Fort Wayne Indiana followed in 1898 by pumps that could pull fuel from an underground tank. As the automobiles popularity soared in the1920s service stations sprang up everywhere and the gas pump became a key promotional medium. The early pumps were visible gas pumps with a clear glass cylinder usually 5 or 10 gallons on top of the pump so you could see what you were getting or if the gas was dirty (a big problem at that time). There was a manual pump youd pull back and forth to pump the gas out of the underground tank into the cylinder which was 8 or 10 feet tall. From there the gas flowed by gravity down the hose into the car. Some of the most collectible pumps are the early ones with the cylinder on top and the old clock face that keeps track of just gallons. Also in demand are the computing pumps from the 1930s into the 1950s but in the 1960s they modernized them making them more boxy and plain. Pumps from the 1930s in particular have a lot of great art deco styling (and are very tall).
