Was wondering if anyone has any knowledge of the approximate value of these two pumps? They’ve been restored inside and out. Obviously the insides are finished but not to the same level as the exterior. Thanks for any info

Those appear to be nice restorations. In my opinion (as long as they look as good in person) I would say the Bennett is worth $2300-2800 (if the inside is nice) and I would say the Rush is worth $3200-4500 (maybe more depending on the buyer). It is hard to tell without seeing them in person, but they look like very nice restorations. Rush's can be all over the map as far as previous sale prices are concerned (reminds me of Correct Measure pipe organs). This is just my personal opinion based on some previous sales and the cost of un-restored ones. Take it with a grain of salt.

Sounds pretty low but I’m no expert. There’s more than that in them as far as parts, paint and labor. I would surely hope they’d be worth more than that.
Anyone else have an opinion?

Cost of a restoration does not equate to the value of the item and in fact, many people have 2-3X the value of the item because of the cost of parts and labor for a restoration.

Anyone else have an opinion? I think Speedracer was very generous in his estimates, if you think those prices are too low your not going to like what they will actually sell for.
