This is a gas pump that we restored at Vintage Vending years ago. It is a twin pump model called the Tokheim 350-P. Manufactured from 1956 to 1960, this pump was made by the Tokheim Corporation of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. There is a large “face” on each side, allowing gas to be pumped from both sides as well as offering two different brands of gasoline on each side.
Restoration consisted of stripping, repairing and painting with our auto body restoration process. It was clear-coated and detailed with the Sky Chief and Fire-Chief Texaco brands.
This item is not for sale. We show restored items in this blog to encourage discussion, prompt questions and further the hobby.

I had never desired a vintage gas pump until I saw the Wayne 50 Displaymeter. Now I’d really like to have one to share with the thousands of customers & visitors that visit my Vintage BMW Motorcycle Museum in Maryland. I’d prefer one that HAS NOT been restored and would be glad to pay a finders fee to anyone that gets me a lead that turns into a aquisition or pay a fair price should you have one available. I’d also consider other display case model pumps but I am not interested in replicas and generally prefer original with the patina of age over restored but might reconsider depending on what yoiu have.
Thanks in advance!
