I currently have $25 into it. I was offered a repro glass cylinder, hail guard, and bonnet by another collector for $275. I would still need the base, lower access panel, jar lid, handle, price box, to car/to storage selector, and globe/ globe body to be complete...

I could buy all that repro, but if i was going to put it together, I'd want it rusty like the rest of it.

I don't see where it could even be posted out... the skins are shot on the bottom, most of the inside pipes and all are gone, the hose is rotted... About the only good thing is maybe the jar base...

Honestly, I would love to find a base and a bonnet used and rusty. I can make a hail screen and use just that in place of a cylinder. Then find a rough rusty globe body with a couple rough lenses...basically mock the pump up and keep it looking aged
