Antique Questions - G
I am currently restoring a gas pump, and am looking for a couple of things. I was wondering if you could help or could refer me to someone.
We have a Wayne visible gas pump we are thinking about selling. We were wondering if you could give us an approximate value. It has a crack in the cylinder that is very hard to see. It is complete with internal pump etc.
I have two Gorham "Sweet Inspiration" Dolls that I had purchased for my mother. One of them is "Lollipop". Could you give me an idea what these dolls might be worth.
Call Webbers, 1-800-433-7867 (PUMP) and ask for their catalog.
Also send an SASE for a catalog from:

Ask about parts for your pump.
Your gas pump should have a model number on the name plate. That would help to date and price it. Your pump is in the $1,500 - $3,000 range. A good source which you might check for current price information is www.oldgas.com

It is $33.00 for 12 issues and you can advertise in it for $.35 per word (minimum $4.00 per ad). There is a probably a reader out there who has what you are looking for.
The Gorham "Sweet Inspiration" Dolls were produced in the mid-1980s. The last value I found for it listed it at $195. Current values may be slightly higher and the box does add some value. I think your dolls are probably in the $175. - $195. price range. The magazine, "Doll Reader", is a source to check for prices on these and other new collectible dolls on the secondary market.
