This is an impressive French gravity-feed visible gasoline pump restored in Shell colors. It features distinctive cylindrical glass reservoir protected by an expanded metal guard, cast CEX/Laster Paris register, Shell script graphics, illuminated Shell globe, and period style hose. Visible pumps are among the earliest commercial gasoline dispensers and are highly sought after by collectors.
