Looks like the gas dome on the old gas station pumps. The Glass dome was marked with lines and numbers for gallons, I believe it was max 5 gallons full dome.
You cranked the pump handle to fill the glass dome to the gallons you wanted to buy. When you had the gallons you wanted in the glass dome, you stuck the hose in the gas tank fill, squeezed the nozzle lever and the gas drained you gravity into you tank.
No electric, no computers, no pay before dispensing, no credit cards, just cash $$$
