Found a Visiable pump yesterday with my friend out in Indiana. Was a pretty awesome site to see a nice Rush out in the wild. We had just got back from a pick of Mobil items when he said "let me take us by this old farm. No one is ever there though". So as we passed the farm I see a lady out in the barn. I made him turn around and pull in. It's always nice getting those odd stares from the land owners when you pull in. She was really nice when the first thing that came out of our mouths is " is the pump for sale?" Luckily her husband was there and he was willing to part with it. The pump was still working which was very cool. To bad the glass was broken or I would have pumped it up for sure. So long story short I got the 15" ethyl globe and he got the pump. Worked out great for both of us, plus I don't have to go back and dig it up out of the concrete! Dan

Those rougher globes have actually increased in value as collectors have started looking for them to put on top their "original patina" gas pump. They don't want 9+ globes sitting on top something that's a tad rusty!
