Rarity doesn't always determine value. I have one missing the Base, if anyone has an extra. db

Rarety. If I had used rarety as the number one thing to determine value, most of the pumps on page 300 (of my GP ID book) would be worth over $100,000 because only one of them has ever been found.
How about that globe on top of the Visible Pump? Has anyone ever found one of those?
Actually, what is the defination of rare? Do we have to find one, then everyone else is rare?

Not really a common pump, but not a rare pump either. More common is the 492, 800, 866/60 & more sought after by collectors.
