Here are a couple of pumps I uncovered in my building today. I had forgotten about them, but drug them in years ago from a bulk plant in southern Colorado. You can see the old cloth tag on the one. Were these actually used for gasoline or were these for a hardware store for kerosene? One has a side spicket and the others has a little different spicket. Just looking for thoughts on use and value? Thank you.

Early 1900's,I just bought one for less than $400 (really great shape/older restoration)These don't seem to be very popular with the pump guys since they have no advertising/can't have a globe.As far as I know these were curb pumps(probably in a shed)(or inside a garage) for filling cars.I how-ever love the old-old stuff!
