It's for a 492 [hand operated pump], IF the 4 holes below the 2" hole [ID Plate, UL & Keep Stuffing Boxes Tight mount] were spaced around the hole [ so plate would cover hole], then it would be for a 491 Air Operated pump. This item is NOT RE-POPPED & appears to be in almost EXCELLENT CONDITION. VERY HARD TO FIND.
To realize the most $,$$$ from your purchase, list on ebay & DO NOT END EARLY w/ a BUY IT NOW.

After listing them on e-bay, list on this site in on-line auctions for greater exposure.

I'm sure he WISHES it were more than 1 Tube, But he states Not THEY are.... I am assuming it's 3 pic's [2 enlarged] to show all sides & Condition.

Thanks Dick...exactly what I was looking for! It is in pretty nice shape overall, no dents, rot or other damage just surface rust as seen which has a little pitting. And I only have the one...I wish I had more, actually more so the whole pump! I am going to hang onto it for right now I just wanted to know exactly what I had & maybe just at least an idea of what someone might pay for it. Thanks again!

Pricing is tough for a piece like that. Generally it's not a piece that is missing from the pump, and it's not a piece you could realistically build a pump around. So you'd have a fairly limited number of people to sell to. That being said, on eBay or something similar, I would guess it would bring $500+/-. Possibly more if you had a couple of guys with rotted-out columns that were battling it out!

When a whole pump can go for upwards of $20,000.00, I think some one who needed/wanted original skins, might just pay more than $500.00 LMAO

These TUBES are 2 pcs of steel [inner is Galv] stamper then rolled & welded. As evident in last picture, even Galv. will rust. Anyone that has had to remove a Large Dent from a Bumper would Gladly pay some good $$$ just to keep from removing another!
Eons ago I bought a Tube at Pomona & was able to trade for parts [at the time] No One was making for the Roman.

You are right about the price, $1000.00. 9 years ago one was on ebay and my computer locked up, it went for $500.00 then and I gladly would have bid higher.

You got that right! I don't have one part for a Roman, but would pay a grand just to have that part in the back room. Maybe more. Ask Dice if they are fun to work on Larry

I saw one at Iowa Gas several years back and the asking price was in the $4000 range. Vendor didn't have at show next year.

Wayne Roman Column pump is pretty high on my to get list. I would also buy this just to have as future insurance. I can see myself paying a lot more than $500.00 for this. I think in todays market on e-Bay that would bring $1500.00 +. At the very least, I'd be going back to where ever that column was obtained from to see if any more of that pump can be located.
