As can be seen in the photos, this is an older pump, with a large, clear glass tank on the top. I talked with the property owners. The gentleman that lives here remembers pumping gas from this pump "on the farm" when he was a young boy, about 1950. He said the pump was on the farm as long as he remembers, and it was installed at a service station in town for about 20 years before getting moved to the farm. That would put the pump made in the 1920s, maybe slightly earlier. The Mobil sign on top is hooked to electricity and a timer, and is still sometimes turned on at night.
