Gilbert & Barker Vintage Visible Gas Pump Before And After Restoration Condition
We received this gas pump as shown in the "before" photo. It did not work, had no lighting or covers, the paint was thin and of poor quality. Not only that, but some parts were incorrect, and the gas tank was a plastic insert. It also had a reproduction globe among other issue. However, because of its extreme rarity, we took this nearly 100-year-old zombie, and restored it back to better than its original glory.

Lion Oil Company Historical Facts
Lion Oil Company, the largest independent supplier of sulfur crude oil, was an oil refinery founded in 1922 by oilman and philanthropist Colonel Thomas Harry Barton (1881-1960) in El Dorado, Arkansas. The Lion Oil grew rapidly with the discovery of oil in the Smackover Field in 1923. The Lion Oil Refining Company produced between 10,000 and 12,000 barrels of oil daily after acquiring 1,600 acre leases in Smackover.
By 1929 Lion Oil moved into wholesale marketing and gasoline sales. Lion Oil was operating over 400 gas stations by 1932 and expanded further after acquiring Marathon Oil properties in 1935 in both bulk plants and service stations. Lion Oil Company started trading on the NYSE in 1939. During World War II Lion Oil helped the war effort by producing explosives material in the Ozark Ordinance Works. In 1946 they boasted $22 million in assets and officially changed their name to Lion Oil Co.

Terry –
Very nice work on this rare pump. It’s nice to see these pumps restored and displayed. Great job. I maybe mistaken but I believe this G&B pump is a model 7 style 67. I have also restored this model of pump along with a friend of mine in Kansas City who also has the same and both our original ID tags that were on the pumps state model 7 style 67. And yes this model was only produced in 1924 for one year only.

Thank you for the additional info on the style and model number!
