Old Clark gasoline pump on display. The Frosted Mug Drive in. Alsip Illinois USA. September 2006.
While not something normally associated with dining room motif, This old 1970's vintage Clark gas station pump makes a nice conversation piece for all the car enthusiasts or nostalgia buffs.

That old gas pump looks really cool! And it is kinda strange to realize that it looks s weird (well, it is older than me, probably my father will remember :)
Hi Lorra! This particular style of gasoline service station pumps, is from the 1960's. There used to be a Clark station in My old neighborhood in Chicago ( Little Village) at West 26th Street and South Homan Avenue.
This particular pump is missing the decorative glass light up globe sign that mounts on top of the pump.
These were common, untill thiefs, vandals, and a society changing for the negative put a stop to it.
Thank you for telling me about its history, was interesting to know about it. Sometimes it is hard to tell smth just looking at the picture, when it may have an interesting history. Thanks again :)
