Jack Sim Has written a Book,"An Illustrated Guide to Collecting Gas Pumps"..He is out of St.Louis & I can Highly recommend him & his Book.It starts from the early 1900's all the way up to 1965.It has many original pictures of the early Gravity Gas pumps,not many on the electric 1960's-70's Pumps that I want to know more about,but still gives you an understanding about their heritage.
He is currently writing another book that will cover 1965-1972 gas pumps.
He also is writing a book about Air meters too,that should be out soon.
This Market is tall right now.

[/ QUOTE ]Rick, I know Jack and his wife Cindy pretty well and they have alot of stuff... If you ever want to meet him, just come to St. Louis and we will go see them.. As for the guts in the pump, the early visible types would be impossible to remove considering that is part of the structure, but the later pumps from the 40's to today its no big deal if they are gone.. The last two pumps I bought still had the guts in them and I yet to take them out and get rid of the waste.. It was hard as hell moving these things with that s--t inside, plus the 50's Coke machine my wife couldn't live without.. I think my back hurt for about a month after that.. Mark
