Up for bid is a "SKELLY" Electric Gas Pump made by A. O. Smith Corporation Meter Products, Los Angeles, CA. This pump is a Smithway Dispenser, Model L3. This pump has been rewired and repainted. It comes with the original vintage hose and nozzle. The skins are in excellent condition; t is not much to be found wrong with this pump. It appears to be complete in every way. While not a professional restoration, it does have good paint coverage and is an attractive pump. The globe on top is a reproduction. IN THE PICTURE OF THE TWO PUMPS, IT IS THE PUMP ON THE LEFT .

PLEASE LOOK AT OUR OTHER PUMPS, AS WE HAVE A FEW OTHER PUMPS ON EBAY AT THIS TIME AS WELL! We also have some other pumps for sale that are not listed at the present time; do feel free to call Mr. Kenneth Boyd at if you have a particular pump manufacturer or oil company brand in which you have an interest.

Please Note: We have another SKELLY A. O. Smith Pump identical to this one. If you are interested in two pumps just alike, do call Mr. Boyd above to inquire as to the purchase of two of them together.

This gas pump belongs to Mr. Kenneth Boyd of Roosevelt , Oklahoma , and he is the one who found and repainted it. Mr. Boyd is 78 years old and has lived all of his life on the farm that has been in his family for over 100 years. He has been restoring petroleum products for several years now, having completed approximately 100 of these electric and gravity-flow gas pumps to date (among other restoration projects). Mr. Boyd would be happy to answer any questions you have about this particular pump. You may reach him at between the hours of 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM (Central Time) daily.

This pump is quite heavy, weighing about 300 lbs crated. It will either need to be picked up in Oklahoma or be shipped by "freight." T is a $250.00 charge for a solid shipping crate (plywood reinforced with 2X4's) if you choose to have the pump shipped to you. Mr. Boyd will be happy to arrange for a freight company to transport and deliver this item to the address you provide (all, understandably, at your expense); the address will have to be that of a business (your business or someone you know), for the freight company does not deliver to residential addresses. Feel free to call Mr. Boyd at and he can secure for you the shipping expenses.

The "Buyer" is responsible for all packing, transportation and delivery fees from Roosevelt , OK , 73564. It is also to be understood that the buyer assumes all liability associated with freighting (breakage of the glass globe, damage to the skins, etc.). Insurance is required, and costs $35 per shipment. [Though packed well for shipment, out of about 50 pumps shipped by freight thus far, only three have received damage, but it can happen, and--we want it to be clear--the buyer assumes the liablity for damage sustained in shipment.]

A Cashier's Check or a Money Order is the preferred method of payment. You may send payment to Jeff Flowers, 401 10th Street, Snyder, OK 73566 . While PayPal is not our preferred method of payment, if you insist on paying by PayPal we require you to add 3% to the total so as to cover our PayPal fees; you can go to the PayPal website and select the "Send Money" tab, choosing to send the money to the following email address: . You can put the eBay auction number in the fields below so as to establish what the money is for. [DO CALL MR. BOYD (at the above telephone number) UPON BECOMING THE WINNING BIDDER TO DISCUSS THE SHIPPING POSSIBILITIES OR YOUR INTENT TO PICK UP THE PUMP.]
