Here is mine, the one on the right is original and the one on the left I'm looking for a fluted pedestal. Do not know value, but Jacks book value is 5,000.

Charley maybe yours was made for a air whip. Never seen one like it before. You don't see these very often. Maybe some other members will post.

An air whip is a tall vertical pipe that is attached to the compressed air supply by a spring. A hose is attached to the top of the air whip pipe. The hose can then be pulled over to the other side of a car to fill a tire and then it springs back to vertical and out of the way.
