Thaught you might enjoy seeing my recent purchases. The Firestone can is from the late 30s, all 3 cans came from a local monthly antique/garage sale. The lubester came from a local farm/collector. The Martin Schwartz(I think) clock face pump came from a local guy who's father in law used it in his home garage right up to 1981. He had a tank in the gound and would buy bulk gas because it was cheaper that way back in those days. Unfortuneatly about 2 1/2 feet have been cut off the bottom of this pump and the base is missing.
