Can't wait for you to. Old glass-top gas pump is the current challenge... be a great way to start!

That's cool. Do the white pumps work? I like the drink machine and the chamois tub with wringer. Used one of those tubs untold times back in the 60's.

Welcome to the game!
That is a great find. Is there a story behind that old gas station?

Originally, the store provided needed goods to the growing community of Hackberry just across the railroad tracks. After all, to make a trip all the way to Kingman used to take at least one day in an old Model A.3

The town of Hackberry used to be a small community of ranchers, miners and their families. The rail road came to Hackberry in 1882, loading cattle from area ranches along with ore from the Hackberry Silver Mine. The mine began in 1874 when prospectors built a mining camp near a spring on the east side of the Peacock Mountains. The mine was named for a large hackberry tree that grew near the spring. Mining ceased in 1919 but not before over $3,000,000 in gold and silver had been produced. During this time, Hackberry offered regular services to it’s residents including a one-room school house, post office and two bordello’s.
