Hi everyone, I'm attempting to determine the value of a gas pump that has been a major conversation piece in my family living room for almost 30 years now.

It's a visible gas pump (I'm guessing Wayne but I don't know the model number) that was in service for years at the family gas station (and cattle ranch and post office and general store) in Capitol, Montana. In the early 90s my dad took the whole thing apart, hauled it back to New Jersey, and very painstakingly restored it and put it all back together. As far as I know it's almost entirely original (the hose looks new).

My Mom is finally downsizing, and we're trying to figure out exactly how much this major piece of family history (and a lot of work on my Dad's part) is worth.

Thanks!

I'm no expert by no means but this looks like a Gilbert and Barker model T-176

Yes, pump is a Gilbert Bakers T-176.
Value is tough... globe i can't make out if its real or not.
Pump in this condition with original glass cylinder with no breaks $3000 to $3500 or so. Restoration is perfect for 1990's.
Globe if it is original 15" Mobilgas is $1000 but if repop its $150.
Belonging to family and dad restoring it is priceless!!! Why not let another family member get it?


Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.
