Thanks everybody for your thoughts and observations. I think KZ1000 brought up a good point about collectors driving the prices in any given area. As I said, there seem to be very few collectors in this area, probably more collectors up in the Northern states. Griffen - I may have to take a trip "across the state line" to Alabama to find some nice pumps! (ha,ha). I did find a 1950's A.O. Smith L-3 Smithway pump that I made a trade for. I am about 1/2 done restoring that one. My wife and I usually make weekly "picking excursions" with drives only within about a 1 1/2 hour radius of our home, so I'm sure that limits my finds also. I have found several farm pumps, and I usually try to buy a couple at a time, bring them home, sell one for a profit, and pay for the other one and part of my expenses. It's all good! Thanks again everyone!


Bennett 766, Wayne 505, Gilbarco 1006, A.O. Smith L-3 "Smithway", and a multitude of Gasboy, Gilbarco, Tokheim, Bennett consumer pumps.
