ALL books are several years old & were written in a better Economy. Today in my opinion they are great as a reference only to what is out there. For Pricing the new Value Forum will be closer on Current Values. Also current Completed auctions, ie; Matthews, Aumans, ebay etc

THESE 11 PRICES GUIDES ARE THE ONES I CURRENTLY USE TO HELP ME WHEN I NEED IT. THESE WERE ALL PUBLISHED 10+/- YEARS AGO AND THE PRICES ARE FAR FROM CURRENT, BUT PICTURES ARE WORTH A 1,000 WORDS. THERE ARE ALSO PRICE GUIDES FOR SPECIFIC BRANDS LIKE SINCLAIR, ESSO, TEXACO, GULD ETC.

I DID NOT INCLUDE THE AMISTADI BOOK HERE....



I BELIEVE SOME OF THESE BOOKS ARE AVAILABLE RIGHT HERE ON OLDGAS.COM IN THE BOOKSTORE.

The Illustrated Guide to Gas Pumps is a required reference for gas pump buyers, sellers and restorers. Could save way more than it's cost in one smart deal.

I have a number of those books myself. They make for interesting reading and plenty of wishful dreaming of what I would like to have.
