Newbie to the forum. I just recently picked up an Erie 129-22 pump at an auction and was curious to it’s history. The serial # is PC32879. It’s has the stainless corners. It was orange at one time and has Good Gulf graphics which do not appear to be original as I can see where there were circular (I’m assuming porcelain) emblems in the past.
Not sure if I’m going to restore or not. No one was bidding on it so placed a bid before my wife could stop me and won! I am just curious as to it’s year of manufacture and any other info. I searched your forum prior to posting in an attempt to not bother the experts with useless newb questions. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Wow! Yeah I have too many project cars at various stages of restoration to finish before I can begin expanding my collection to your level. I regret bidding on this one honestly because they also had a visible pump that came a few lots later that didn’t sell because nobody bid on it. I was holding out for a couple of porcelain signs I ended up winning so I didn’t bid on the visible. What time frame would you estimate my Erie to be? I apologize for all the dumb questions. Just trying to learn...

I may still have the ability to acquire the visible. What would be a fair asking price?
