A one of a kind completely restored 1929 Historic Service Station
Located in Rome NY, this 1929 service station owned by H.P Sears Oil Company, Inc has been completely restored to its former glory
On the outside you'll find a pair of restored Clock Face gas pumps built by Martin & Swartz sitting on a reconstructed crescent shaped pump island and a set of authentic light poles and fixtures. Sitting on the top of the pumps are colorful illuminated glass globes. On the corner, is a magnificent fluted tapered boom style sign pole with a pair of original SEARS Oval signs hang over an air scale made by the Toledo Air Scale Company. The signs are illuminated with porcelain reflector shades mounted on cantilevered arms. The Air tower has a retractable hose reel in it's belly and an attractive illuminated globe, this rare scale sits on a reconstructed tapered concrete base.
To the left of the building is a drive over Oil Change pit. The pit allowed a car to drive onto a set of steel ramps that spanned the pit leaving the entire undercarriage of the vehicle accessible from in the pit. On the building sidewalk located each side of the building sets a pair of restored Erie Clock face pumps very similar to the ones on the Pump Island. These too have the colorful illuminated globes mounted on top. And that's just some of the things you will find on the outside.
Inside expect to find a wide variety of period orientated items form a radiator nozzle spout to a wind up time clock. Hand crank style pumps mounted on the floor fed from underground tanks delivered oil for customers. The showcases are filled with nostalgic items of the past.
