This is a Bowser C-110 that I restored early this year, it is missing the Computer - just has a sheet of Stainless in the computer area. The Glass is Plastic with a bolted seam. Globe is Repo. Pump access door is cracked and missing some peices. What should this pump sell for today?

In Jacks book it is worth $2000. But without the computer & the damaged parts I would knock off a few hunderd dollars. If I was to guess I would say in the $1300-$1600 dollar range.

Too many MAJOR items missing for this pump to be worth more than $800-$1000 PAINTED.

A RESTORED pump should have all missing exterior parts either original or repo replaced.

Never was a COMPUTER in this pump.
Should have a castiron cover/door over mechanical gallon stop dial. VERY HARD TO FIND ITEM.

Yea, the "computer" I refer to is a dial timer mech. You can not find these at all. The lower door is the broken cast iron that I can re-weld up and get back to norm if needed.

I sold the glass on ebay - I do not keep the glass EVER - the kids in the hood would break it. I put in a repop seemed plastic.

All the doors are there on the unit. The original gallon indicators are there. This unit has the original gate valve in it too. White cloth hose and the bananna nozzle. It is a nice pump - but I need a price for the insurance guy.

Travis....I think $1000 is probably a good figure to give your insurance guy. Let me know if you need someone to validate the prices for him, I do it all the time and for some reason, they take my word for it!
