It's nice to see the past preserved, even it if it relates to mundane things. Here a hand-powered gasoline pump and an old post box (mail box) are preserved on a village wall. You can see the lever sticking out of the pump. As you pumped the lever back and forth, it would pump gas into the glass container above the tank, which was like a huge measuring cup. It measured the gas by the liter. Then gravity would feed the gasoline into the fuel tank of the car.
