Does anyone know what model this pump is? The tag is missing the 3rd digit. Is it a 490, 491, 492....

The "Holy Grail". I'm sure your PM inbox is already full.

Congratulations , You have a Wayne model 492 . I suggest you do your research if your planing on selling it .

That is a great pump and the decal makes it special.
What pumping mechanism does it have, manual outside handle, electric pump or compressed air operated?

How can you tell what model it is?

It has a pump handle which we also have.

Wow! Clean it up and leave it!!

Looks like it didn't get too far from home.

If I understand correctly, the 490 is electric, the 491 pumps by compressed air and the 492 is hand pumped with a lever handle.

Just my opinion, but I think the decal is worth saving. Great survivor.

I just sent a similar PM:

"A 490 has a different top, a 491 is air operated (no pump handle), and a 492 is operated with a pump handle on the side

I definitely would not restore it. The trend is leaving pumps in their original as-is state. I actually agree and think that pump looks very cool with the original sticker on the side and would never restore that pump. "

That is a beauty!

Wow that thing is stunning!

Amazing

Here are some pictures that are on my website: http://petrolianacollectibles.com/wayne%20491.htm The pump is also shown on page 379 of my Gas Pump Identification book. www.gaspumpbible.com

According to my original factory literature you have a 492, which is a 10 gallon hand operated pump. It was introduced in 1923 and sold for $215.00 when new.

Thank you all for the information.

This is close to Richard up there, maybe he knows something about this as we have seen another picture some years back of something similar. So someone one might as well as the question because as stated I am sure his Pm box is full.

Craig it looks like the same pump. I don't know who has it though. They show up in this area every now and then. Richard

Yes, eastern Washington, Eastern Oregon and Idaho has a lot of them. The salesman for the Wayne pump company at the time must of did a great job in his area. Just wonder if it is for sale.

Awesome pump!!!!
