I don't know exactly but I do know that most visible pumps sell for quite a lot of money. Are you buying this pump?

It appears to be a G&B (Gilbert & Barker) Model T-176 and these are quite common.
The front panel door looks to be severely bent up a bit! I cannot see other parts of the pump that well...
I would say for a pump like this; a fair offer would range between $500 - $800

My six cents,

It's a GB visible, but your msising the glass, and it's pretty banged up.. I'd still in that 500 range if he really is interested in it,, not more.. You can find nicer visibles with glass for 1000-1200 on up for more rare ones..
I sold a nice Wayne 515 pump with perfect glass last winter for 1200.

Thats great info! Thanks! I thought the visables were worth more. I am going witha  friend to go look at and probably buy 100 to 150 old pumps with 25 or more being visible. He also has hundreds of signs and original globes.

Some of the visibles are... if you find a wayne roman columb pump your looking at 7-10 grand for unrestored.. it's the VMC 81 RC of pop machines.
but the glass is key for visibles...Good glass cylinders are worth 500-600 alone.
Another great one to find is a Fry Mae west style pump..

good luck on your find.. hope it works out for you. let me know what you get.. I love pumps almost as much as Soda machines...
