My understanding is that this pump was used to fuel a bus. It never left the location of its original use until now. I have no idea how rare, how interesting or how valuable it is. Thanks ahead of time for the help wink

I would think it would have a hose attached, this looks like one that went on a kerosene tank... pretty cool patina!

It’s all original and untouched. I have to figure out it’s value

It's just your basic Bennett lubester (oil tank) pump like this one is it not? Yours just happened to come from a Kendall station. Which does give it some degree of rarity. But no great value. $50- $75. Maybe a more to a Kendall collector. Entire lubesters can be had for $100-$150.
Someone correct me if I'm off here!!

That one's a barrel pump and is a little different looking dimensionally than others I've seen. I don't think it's meant to have a hose attached. It just fills a hand held swingspout type can. I think it's an oil pump ( could be used for kerosene also depending on what seals are in it) because it has limited travel and you have to wind it back and forth. It would take an eternity to fuel a bus with it. I think it has great coolness factor and would probably get 80-100 in my neck of the woods
