I wish I could encourage you to purchase a copy of my Gas Pump Identification and Value book, but they are all out of print. Might find one on Amazon for about $135.00, I wish I had some to sell at that price.
Actually the book is available on Amazon, as an E-book, and I believe you can purchase it through this website and Jim will get credit for the sale.
Now for values. The book was printed in 2008 so in general the values are out of date, but using logic you can determine a close value on your own. If pump A was listed a $500 in 2008 and is now worth $1000, you could use this type of logic on a similar pump.
About every other day someone emails me wanting me to put a value on a pump they found. If the book it states the values are listed for pumps that are near 100% in completion and without a globe. My feeling is that since I cannot physically touch the pump, turn it over, see the dents, rust outs, see what parts it is missing, I cannot and nor will I make a estimate of value.
I have recently began a value estimate service where someone could send me at least 5 pictures (and I may ask for more) and $35.00 for my research, I will look up the pump, place a value on it and include some of the original literature on the pump.
I have yet to have anybody take me up on this, it seems most people are looking for people like me who have spent $25000+ to purchase literature, then spend what time I have left on this earth (I am in my 80th year) giving away the information.
At my age I could drop dead at any monment, that is why at dinner I eat my desert first.
Hopefully I will be coming out with a third book soon, stay tuned to this site.
