That's what people in the 30s through the 50s said because pumps didn't have value and look where that went. Take it and save it it will be worth something when cars are running on electric and some other Scifi materials.

There is enough weight to warrant taking it and driving right to the scrap yard. There is no comparing today to the 50's

Someone will be looking for it in the future. My late 97 year old Grandfather said we collecting gas pumps & oil cans is a waste of time. Look at this hobby today..

Right now I would say no but maybe in the future. I told myself I was not going to have any short pumps in my collection and currantly have five. I am willing to get more and had five others that left the collection.
