Fry Vintage Visible Gas Pump: Fully Restored To Working Museum Quality

This is an original Fry vintage visible gas pump from the early 1900's that has been fully restored by our experts at ArtFactory.com. The 10 gallon model from Guaranteed Liquid Measure Company that was used throughout the early 1920s, was often referred to as the Fry visible gas pump. The most popular models of this visible pump were the Fry Model 117, and Fry Model 17. These vintage visible gas pumps, with their hourglass shape, were nicknamed after the curvaceous actress of that era "Mae West".

This Fry vintage visible gas pump features an original milk glass, Standard Oil torch flame, is in fully working condition, features original period signage, and meets historically correct standards. The visible gas pumps were popular because they allowed customers to view the color and quality of the gasoline through the transparent glass fuel tank in an era when fuel production was widely unregulated. This pump features an original, blue tinted glass 10 gallon visible tank. It also has original model, patent, and manufacturer information plates.

Fry Visible Gas Pump Original Sales Literature

The GUARANTEE VISIBLE was designed and placed on the market to fill a demand created by the motor car owner for a pump which would give him a gallon of gasoline for every gallon paid for.

The GUARANTEE VISIBLE is the aristocrat of the pump world. Its symmetrical lines and handsome appearance make it a decoration to any service station, while the visible measure calls out to the car owner, "Here is the place to secure full measure. Buy from me, and you are assured of a gallon for every gallon paid for.

 

With its combination of vacuum feed and transparent container, the GUARANTEE VISIBLE has, at one stroke, removed every objection which applied to the old style piston pump. No matter how it is operated, it cannot give less NOR MORE that a gallon for a gallon. The delivering valve is placed at a sufficient height to guarantee an ample fall to the tank of any automobile or truck, thus insuring perfect draining of the hose, and in the nozzle of the hose is a copper screen of exceedingly fine mesh which strains all solid matter and water from the gasoline and eliminates carburetor troubles. And this is all done without loss of time. The GUARANTEE VISIBLE will serve as many customers in a given length of time as any other pump now on the market, and at the same time serve them in a manner which will insure their return.

For the past three years we have recognized the growing need for a fast, visible, 10-gallon capacity, hand operated pump at a low price. Equipment No. 117 Double Action is the answer. This pump has been painstakenly developed, each feature being included only after it had been thoroughly proved by continuous operation under field conditions. Careful investigation has shown that the pump that would perfectly meet the need must have these qualities - Absolute accuracy, visibility, speed, simplicity, low installation cost, low-up-keep and low selling price.

Every part is immediately accessible. The installation is simple and inexpensive. There are no check or foot valves that affect the measurement.It is labeled by the Underwriters Laboratories.
