These “Safety Thoughts” were published in the June 27, 1926, issue of the Tampa Tribune and, clearly, not much has changed in the last 96 years. Keep these in mind and have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

I don’t know exactly what I have here, but I do recognize awesome when I see it:
This incredible brass gas pump handle has a number of markings that provide some information. It is a Buckeye, manufactured by McGraw-Pennell, and it has a 1926 patent date. What is up with that woven, flexible nozzle, though?
I have not been able to find any information on that flexible nozzle, or even another one that looks like it. If you can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate a message sent to americancarhistorian@gmail.com.
