Porcelain Pump

[eleane]

I have a porcelain pump about 12" high that was at one time used to pump cherry extract (it says cherry on the pump) & it says L.GRAUMAN CO. NO.7. DENVER .LOS ANGELES. Does anyone know the age or if it has any value? Thanks

Without photo I'm guessing........... ...1930's ice cream parlor or drug store. The porcelain or maybe pottery base with a stainless steel pump (some had stainless steel spoons with the flavor labeling at the top of spoon). About 5" wide x 8" long and maybe 12" deep including pump. The last ones I had sold for $125 each.

If that's what you have.....

Sorry if this duplicates.

Hello.........site wasn't letting me reply to you very easily........anywa y, $125 each was what I received at the antique mall where wwe have a booth. if your selling to a dealer he should offer you about 1/2 of what he determines he can receive for yours. He also has to make a profit. Keeping in mind that I didn't see yours and I'm only speculating. I have no idea what they might bring in your area of the country. They are a specialty item that can sometimes take a while to find a buyer. Not everybody collects ice cream parlors.......
