What I buy
Old air meters
The air meters and air towers that sat out by the pumps or hung on the station wall. Working or not, send photos and I’ll take a look.
Local in Texas — I’ll travel farther for the right piece.
What I look for
A few examples of what counts. If yours isn’t on the list, send a photo anyway.
- Standing air towers and posts
- Wall-mounted air meters
- Meters with a dial or a glass face
- Units with a globe or a sign on top
- Meters missing the hose or chuck
- Air meter faces and parts

Photos that help
Phone pictures in daylight are perfect. Here’s what helps most for air meters. The full photo guide covers the rest.
Show the face
Get a clear, straight-on photo of the dial or display.
Look for a plate
A maker’s name or model tag is helpful — close-up please.
Show the whole unit
Include the post, base or wall mount so I can see how it’s set up.
Where I buy
I prefer to buy locally in Texas, and I’ll travel farther for the right piece. If you’re outside Texas, it’s still worth a text.
Got one? Text me a few photos.
Front, back and an edge is plenty to start. Text them to 979-220-3831 and I'll take a look. One sign or several — either is fine.
