This old Wayne 519 had been sitting, along with about 5 other old visibles, in the back of an old truck of ours for about 20 yrs until my son finally asked why we don't take them out and display them so people can see them. I had picked all of these old pumps up back in the 70s when I was chasing around looking for old car parts. In those days I even had more, but I let friends talk me out of several of them, which makes me sorry now.
Bengal Gas was actually the first Company to come up with the idea of "putting a Tiger in your tank" with its "hi powered" Green gas! It was decades later and after Bengal was long gone from the scene that Exxon marketers decided to revive the old saying once again.
You can see this and many other old gas pumps as well as signs and antique autos at aaaLakeside Storage In our FREE Petrolania Museum or just Google the website and look at the Blogs of the pictures of them.
