Hi Bill, Thanks very much. I need to get back up there, I think the owners have found the original top for the pump and have added some new things.

Hi Anne, I'm glad my photo brought back some nice memories. I don't think there is a line of Cool Springs stores, this old gas station was called cool springs from years and years ago. The new owners kept the old name. It sure is fun to see things from our younger years.

Oh, my!! That brings many memories from the past. And the name is the same as ours, "Cool Spring Store". I wonder if there is a line of them across the U.S. *g* A wnderful place to stop and look at memories from the past as well as some new things for today!!

Thanks Alex, That gas price sounds right to me. I graduated high school in 1969 and remember the gas wars, they were great. That's what we need today a good old gas war....

Nice shot,thats a neat old gas pump Alan,though the price seem out of sync with the pump.I can remember buying gas for .20 a gallon in 1960 during a gas war.

I would go for that price lol.. When I first started driving I remember it being .38 a gallon. Boy do I feel old....

Hmmmm - .46 would seem more like it to me.

Hi Beverly, I blew the photo up and it looks like $1.46 but that could have been played with. The numbers were really faded so it has been set there for a while.

Did the pump give the price per gallon?

Thanks Janice and Ann for your nice comments. Ann I think this is a pump from around 1935 to 1945. I did some searching and never found this pump, but got close.
