Even when the book was 1st released, priceing was for REFERANCE ONLY, not witten in stone. The book is almost 4 yrs. old now.
Publishers refuse to print books on collectibles without priceing.

Lots of pumps were UNDER/OVER priced in the book [find me a dozen 36B TOPS for $300-350]

If you like the pump or price, buy it.

When I started, I didn't know [or care] that there was a market for old rusty pumps. I was buying them because I liked them. Sure wish now that I had bought more in the $500 range THEN. ROMANS for a $1,000, WAYNE 60's for $300 etc. etc.

Heck, I even passed on a MUSGO globe for $1,500 [that still HAUNTS ME] !!

Old...I wouldn't want to be in them for more than maybe a hundo a piece. If you do end up with them, believe it or not, I have some NOS face glass (which if we are talking about the same pump is a huge, molded piece).
