When my brother and I ran a garage in the late 60s we had all new tanks and pumps installed, there were two glass globed ones and one hand cranked job that we smashed up and put it in an old 500 gallon tank along with the rest of the scrap. Hindsight wasn't invented then and as for the phone boxes there is still one outside of that garage today. I understand that the Yanks buy them for silly money and some are used as shower cubicles
