Establishments selling petrol displayed the current price and identity of the company products they were selling. Examples such as these were fixed to the petrol pump giving the motorist some comfort that what they were buying came from the advertised company. The mechanical pricing indicator is pre war and helped to calculate the price for a specified number of gallons or half gallons. Our thanks go to the contributors of these images.

Your contributions are important and welcomed. Each image sent in helps to make the past a little bit clearer.
If sending images please send as large as possible as this helps with cropping and resizing whilst still maintaining a minimum quality of the original. Images between 1000 and 2000 pixels are preferred. Unfortunately we may not be able to use your image if it is too small.
We do not assume copyright of any image sent in but we do reserve the right to use any image to give the best use and effect for Vintage Garage, and to retain that use. We are pleased to give photo credits but some contributors prefer to remain anonymous. We will assume the latter unless you inform us otherwise.
If any images you send in are personal and you wish them to be marked to deter copying then please let us know and we will put a 'Protected' marker on them. This will not prevent copying but will make the image unviable accept for any personal use.
Where possible, please let us have any dates, makers names or model numbers or any other detail which will help to explain your images.
We take this opportunity of saying thanks to all those contributors who have given so generously in the past.
