Just got this, won it after bidding on 15 items and this is the only one I won! It's in bad shape on one side, but you dont see these with that Tidewater symbol on them, I think this is the earliest sign they used. I will restore the bad side but leave the good side as is. This will hang over the Tydol Clockface pump I will be restoring.
