This composite photo shows a
Wayne model 70 as it was found and the same pump as restored. Wayne Pump
Company was founded in 1891 by employees of S.F.Bowser and
Company. Wayne was a pioneer in that it helped design the original
computer for gasoline pumps. The Wayne model 70 first appeared in
1937 and is a very good looking pump when restored. It is not considered
a hard to find pump for restoration and some parts are still
available. This example was not restored by myself and is depicted for
comparison only. See the "Gas Pump Collectors Guide" by Scott
Benjamin and Wayne Henderson for a history of the Wayne Pump Company and
for other photos of Model 70's.
