Spencer Nelson of Seattle just gave me a picture of his fresh farm find, a Wayne 56 showcase. They are still out there so I guess I will just keep on dreaming.

Got the bucket next to me now. That is a very good find & I hope he got it cheap. It pays to look in the old barns.

I don't know the full story, but it was found in Eastern WA, but not in the Walla Walla area, we don't want to give up all our trade secrets. A friend was doing business with a neighbor and saw the pump sitting out next to the shed. Spence contact the owner and made an offer. A month later the farmer contact him and the rest is history. He paid a lot of money for the pump but it is still a bargain considering what the pump is worth. This is one pump that I believe will continue to increase in value. There is still stuff out there but the days of bargain prices for the most parts are gone. Richard

Ok Bob it was in Franklin county, but you aren't getting any more out of me, even if you torture me or bribe me with a Wayne 60. Richard

Thanks Bob, if it does not work out for gasoildude let me know, it would be worth looking at, it sounds like a fair price. Richard

$800-1,000 for a good 515 is reasonable. The globe would be free [$150-400] depending on condition.
