1940s-’50s-style Wayne Union Oil Co. Aviation Gasoline pump

The petrol pump

We classic car enthusiasts are irredeemably nostalgic. Once you've got that dream car or motorbike in your garage, what better way to complete the picture than by accumulating matching car-related items?
Today's petrol pumps lack the charm and - dare we say it - style of the petrol stations of yesteryear, especially in the US where the pumps were as ornate and chrome-plated as the cars! So here's something very cool: a 'Wayne' style petrol pump, as they were found in the 1940s or 1950s.
Resplendent with Union Oil Co. livery and the famous '76' logo, it's a superb piece, ideal for display alongside a classic American car from the 1950s. It is fitted with a two-pin European plug and electric cable for the light elements, and is complete with globe and filler gun.

Condition

Finished to a high standard, this petrol pump looks great. The paintwork shines, as do the various chrome elements and polished components such as the filler nozzle. The panels appear to be in very good condition, with no noticeable dents or visible corrosion. The fragile dome appears undamaged, and we understand that the lighting system is working well. The fuel gauge viewing window is in very good condition, with the glass clean and intact, and all the digits reset to zero. We note that the piece is complete with a reproduced Wayne nameplate, partially engraved.
