Vintage Gasoline Pumps - Cumberland, Ontario - Vintage Gasoline Pumps on Waymarking.com

These Esso gasoline pumps have a glass dome or globe on top of which can be seen the word "Ethyl" and "Imperial" respectively. They appear to be of an early type, circa 1920/30, as a clear glass cylinder is visible as part of the pump. When filled, that cylinder allowed approximately 5 or 10 gallons of gasoline to be pumped. The pumps are located in front of Watson's Garage, a heritage building that was moved to the Cumberland Heritage Museum.

"Watson's garage was built in 1926. It is the oldest serving example of an Imperial Oil gas station. This building was owned by John Watson. Watson first used this building as a bike repair shop. Now this building houses stationary engines, steam engines, antique car and tractors. During the 1920s many people went back to using horses, due to the depression and inflation of gas prices. Therefore, John Watson had to open his trade to expand his business."
