The two things that determine the age of this Vintage Gasoline Pump are the dials which won't register an amount greater than $9.99 and the bubble above the dials that housed a visible turbine that actually measured the flow of gasoline through the pump. The meter bubble had disappeared from new pumps manufactured during the early 1960s and the oil embargo of 1973, which sent gasoline prices skyrocketing, made the machines obsolete virtually overnight.
