More like, hardly collectible. What market there is for them they don't bring much. Maybe 75-100 bucks in as found condition

Only if it goes cheap in the auction.
It takes more $$ to restore one than what they are worth.
Very FEW large or long time collectors will have one on display.

If you had had a copy of my Gas Pump Identification book and looked on page 73 you would have seen that this is a Bennett 58, introduced in 1961, considered a commercial pump (meaning used on farms, taxi garages, truck garages, places where there was no need to compute the price, only the number of gallons dispensed) and the value is about $125.00 in unrestored condition.

Sometimes it is best to know the value of something before you buy it.

I'm going to be different from the rest of the guys. Not a bad looking little pump if your a Harley fan and like it buy it but don't pay to much. It doesn't have much resale value. Mitch

I don't believe a Harley ever pulled up to one of these pumps to get a fill-up, besides, Harley never made a gas pump, nor did they ever sell gasoline.
