Hi Chuck,
As a matter of fact I did get some measurements. It is 71" h x 21" w x 18" d. I also have pics of each side along with close-ups of the labels if there is interest.

Chuck, This gas pump is a Bennett 543-B....1940-1941 two ad panel model.....as all i can see in the picture is 2 ad glass panel's if theres one in the front theres one in the back. Now if it has 4 ad panels with 2 more on the side's it's a model 543-F. I have bought and sold a few of these over the years. Being Bennett was based out of my state MICH, there were quite a few in my area  on the local Farm's. |

Wow, thanks Chris! Regarding the pics: there is interest!
Thanks Craig for the further info. I plan on the style with 2 ad glass panels. Now I can do more searches.

Sometimes a photo of the day turns into a project. I used Chris's pics and measurements to start a computer model for eventual printing:  Maybe to turn into something like this:  Maybe. |
