I have passed on more than 50 of these over the years. All were priced well below 100 dollars.
I think a couple of years ago, somebody had like 10-15 of these at Peotone? Price was cheap too, I dont think they sold.
Im not bashing your pump, it looks great. If you can get over 1k for it, take the $$ and run.... Fast.
FREEDOM oil items wanted.

ryan,i agree. it's hard enough to get someone to shell out $2000 to $2500 hundred for a visible these days.

These are $25 pumps. On the last day of the large swapmeets you could bring a truckload of these home for a K. Ive seen these left behind by smart vendors so they are not tempted to bring them back next year.
see me at Mason Dixon Gas, Spring Carlisle M114-115, and Hershey C4E-35.

...you asked for thoughts...here goes:
...it's not a retail pump - it's a commercial pump...these were rarely branded...and there's no such thing as a 'John Deere' pump...and no serious John Deere collector would spend real money on this when he could buy an old, authentic piece that will actually appreciate in value...
...I get it: these pumps are easy to find and cheap to buy, so it's easy to 'restore' one and say 'look, here's an antique gas pump'...but they're not the same thing...
...the only way you'd get $2000 (or even $400) for this pump, is if you found someone who (1) doesn't know, or (2) doesn't care...this forum is more of a collector forum, not so much for some guy who doesn't know any better, and thinks 'gas pumps are gas pumps' - unfortunately for you, that guy is your target market...
...it works? that's great - but who's going to put it outside to be used, just to ruin the finish?

...yeah, the paint looks nice and shiny, but no collector is going to drop $2000 on it - unless they're at Barrett Jackson...

It takes 2 Guys to run the price up to that point! BUT IMO, the guys at BJ would rather have a Fiberglass Fantasy Time Sentry.

You did a great job restoring the pump, for a farmer this would be great and he could appreciate it. The price though that we get for those is much below that.
Good luck with your customers
