5 out of 5 stars Must have guide for restoring your vintage gas pump   May 29, 2004
J. Potts (St. Louis, MO, USA)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

Benjamin and Henderson have authored a well respected series of books about gas station memorabilia and history. They also publish the magazine Petroleum Collectibles Monthly. This book has step-by-step illustrations of visible glass cylinder lever action, clockface meter and electric computing gas pumps. The over 1000 pictures of paint schemes show how different gasoline brands and grades were two toned, colors used and where signs or decals were placed. Restoring your pump correctly in a professional way enhances the value of your investment. See more info at Oldgas.com
