Wallet card with an old gas pump

When's the last time you saw one of these in use? I think 1980s? These relic gas pumps still stand (though presumably no longer work), at an auto repair shop on Rockaway Avenue in Valley Stream, NY.

As a bonus, check out the scrolled-mast lamp post that is still in use in front of the repair shop. Expert Kevin Walsh of Forgotten New York says these date from the 1950s.

    The pump is neat, but I'd be more interested in seeing that lamp post, it's very pretty!
