Yea that’s what I meant. The paint scheme looks to be a Union 76 stationBob, Union 76 and ESSO are oil company brand names. That pump looks to be a Gilbarco. I think. 50's and 60's.

It’s a Wayne pump model 600. Don’t see a date. Made in Salisbury, Maryland. Missing the front cover & the hose. He’s asking $300. Here’s two screen shots from a video I made of itBob, Union 76 and ESSO are oil company brand names. That pump looks to be a Gilbarco. I think. Could be a Bennett. 50's and 60's era.
Very restorable.

And that would a cosmetic restoration value not a complete working restoration correct ? I would consider it just to have one.I see that now, cool. $300.00 isn't a bad deal. Most all the missing parts are available. Parts, paint, chrome & polish will cost around $13/1500. to do right. It would be valued around $2500.00 finished.

I gotcha. Ok I might try & see if I can fix it up. Just hate to see it lying in the dirt.Yes. It could be made to work if the motor is good. the rest is all mechanical and would likely only need gaskets.
No point to doing that though. Removing all the lower internal componants will drastically reduce the weight and the lower area can be repurposed to a cabinet, TV, stereo, display area etc.
The "old gas" odor that these things have is mostly in the internal pump and plenum and is difficult to get rid of. Not something you want to display in the shop or house. Removing these parts will not decrease the value. Collectors don't really expect these pumps to work, mostly esthetic. I like to rewire the face and globe light sockets and add a small switch somewhere so the pump can be lit up.
