Available for auction is a vintage Wayne 70 Phillips 66 gas pump. The Wayne 70 pump had been introduced in 1937 as the "world's most beautiful pump" and had been in production until sometime between 1954 and 1960. Phillips Petroleum Company of Bartlesville, Oklahoma was founded in 1917 by brothers Frank and L. E. Phillips. Originally an oil exploration company, it expanded into refining in the 1920s and finally into retail with the opening of the first Phillips 66 station in Wichita, Kansas in 1927.
The seller states this pump is an authentic unit that had been refinished and is in excellent condition aside from a minor ding on one of the corners. Please view the gallery for an accurate representation. The globe is noted to be a reproduction unit. Don't miss your opportunity to own a beautiful piece of petroliana history. The buyer is responsible for shipping, handling, and fees.

@Brigante Hi, the globe is an officially licensed reproduction with the black outer casing being made of plastic but Phillip's face is made of glass.
@Skindoc Hi, to answer your questions, the actual pump unit is no longer present or available. I will do my best to get images of the interior of the pump as it's in storage. Thank you.
Please answer as next bid will be based upon your comment.
“Reproduction Globe”
I gather it is plastic?

Very cool vintage pump! A few questions:
Is the actual pump unit still installed or is this a “display” piece?
If it has been removed, does the sale include the original internal pump, lines, hoses?
If included, is the pump in working order?
Fo you have photos of the interior?
Thanks and GLWA
