I inherited these vintage gas pumps when my dad passed away.I don't really know anything about them. Anybody got an estimate on what the might be worth?

In my opinion there is no way to fairly assess the value of a pump from just pictures alone. Also since there seems to be restoration work done the true value can't be assessed without knowing the quality of work.

Therefore I think it would be only fair to assess the value as a pump found in original condition.

The Wayne and Tokheim visibles sell in the $1800 range unrestored with good cylinders.

The Wayne 100 electric pump sells unrestored for around $800. Yours has been modified with a showcase added which is not original.

This should give you a starting point.

Tom.

Thank you both for sharing your knowledge and you quick response. Just out of curiosity what do they go for when fully restored? On the 100 would the custom mod make it worth more or less?

The custom work on the Wayne 100 would de-value the pump...... not a lot, but to me it is worth less with a hole in the door. Is the other side also cut out? You are money ahead to sell pumps unrestored, or with what we call rustorations. The money you would put into a total restoration would leave u little profit margin & you have to hope that a buyer wants the pump in the brand that you restore it to. Chris

The Texaco Pump has been kept in the garage and to an untrained eye appears to be in really nice condition. Lets just say for the sake of argument its a quality resroration. Then how much is it worth?
