They are yet another form of scale models that have withstood years in the market. It was started in the same manner that car scale models started – as bank promo materials. The pedal car became the inspiration of Brian J. O’Hara who first sold them and then decided to open his own company that will manufacture die cast replicas. He was driven by the idea of coming out with low cost unique scale model replicas. His company has grown and is recognized in his niche to this day.

He started with replicas of the pedal car then moved on to manufacture replica gas pumps. The company now offers a wider line of mint quality customized promotional items for its customers. In 2005, full size antique display gas pumps were introduced. An example of a replica gas pump is a red 2-1/2 feet high heavy gauge plastic with metal trim. A bell rings when the crank is rotated It has a vinyl hose with a nozzle and an authentic looking ‘Lead Warning Label” on one side.
