Vintage Texaco Gravity Feed Gas Pump – Early 1900s Petroliana Collectible. Rare vintage Texaco visible gravity-feed gas pump from the early 1900s. These pumps were used at gas stations before modern electric pumps and are now highly sought-after petroliana collectibles. The glass cylinder on top was used to measure gasoline (1-10 gallons) so customers could visually see how much fuel they were getting before it flowed down into the car by gravity. Pieces like this are popular for man caves, garages, showrooms, restaurants, or collectors of vintage gas station memorabilia. ? Condition Notes. Missing a few metal support rods/beams that hold the glass cylinder in place. Top globe/light is missing (the illuminated Texaco globe that normally sits on top). Otherwise a great vintage display piece with original style glass cylinder, hose, and nozzle. Great opportunity to own a rare early 1900s Texaco pump that could be restored or used as a unique display piece. ? Message if interested.
