Anyone collect old fuel pumps from gas stations?

A friend of mine is looking for an old school Sunoco fuel pump. Anyone know who sells unrestored/restored gas station fuel pump assemblies?

I’d love to have one but no place for one at my house.
The Mecum auctions generally have automobilia along with cars, and I’ve seen a bunch of gas pumps listed at their auctions.
The problem I see is that vintage pumps have gotten super expensive. I’ve seen that there are companies selling reproduction pumps now if your friend doesn’t have to have an original. Even those are over $1000.
My late grandfather had a store in rural Ohio and the store had 2 Sohio pumps in front of it. I’d like to get a 50s era Sohio pump someday in memory of my grandfather!

I'm also looking for a specific brand pump from 50/60's. Seems most offerings are the glass gravity style from 20-30's.

What specifically are you looking for ?

The pumps are usually the same, just the livery changes.

I'll have to do a little more research to find friend Tom Buckles, and former fellow off-road motorcycle racer (and a darn good one at that) and a top Mopar restoration expert (did lots of Rik Smits/Pacer basketball great's Mopars) gasoline pump shop address and contact info. He's a Moparts member for a long time but haven't seen him post for a while. I found this link to his shop https://www.gaspumps.us/contact-us/

I would expect he would have something or be one of the best to find what you are looking for............and he is definitely a MOPAR guy to keep it in the family

TOM BUCKLES:
I am often asked how I got interested in gas pumps. Maybe it started even before I knew it. I grew up on a farm and remember that we had a tall Wayne 80 pump. It always made an impression on me when I cranked it back to reset it and the bell rang. Since being raised on a farm I was always interested in anything mechanical. My interest left gas pumps when I left the farm, but only for about 20 years. After a good run as an off-road motorcycle racer and owner of a Husqvarna Motorcycle dealership my interest returned to gas pumps when I bought my first pump, a tall Bennett 646 with a Sinclair globe off a farm for $50. After 38 years as a proud employee of the US Postal Service, where I spent my entire career in vehicle maintenance I am now retired and have moved on to the next era of my life.
I started accumulating pumps and parts over the years to prepare for the time when I retired. In January 2016 I opened Buckles Vintage Gas Pumps LLC. I feel like I have one of the largest inventories of used parts to include; Veeder Root computers, face plates, bases, tops, sides, doors, sight glasses, light assemblies, stainless trim, nozzles and just about anything you might need for your pump, however, I do not stock the internal parts that are actually involved in pumping gas. I have complete pumps from all the major brands such as; American, Aqua, Bennett, Bowser, Erie, Gilbert & Barker, GB, Gilbarco, Martin & Swartz, National, Neptune, Rush, A.O. Smith, Southwest, Tokheim, Wayne.
My inventory changes often, so please ask for any specific requests. My goal is to help you acquire the parts you need to complete your gas pump project. If I do not have what you need I will be glad to refer you to the many other providers for both reproduction and original parts.
When trying to contact me please be patient, I may be out on the road on my next pump adventure, at a swap meet, in the paint booth or maybe just on vacation…. Hey, I’m retired!

I look forward to helping you with your projects,

Tom Buckles

I've always wanted one but they're crazy prices now.

Here is a photo depicting the fuel pump that my friend is in search of.

That would be a neat find from a neat era.
