I bought a 1954 National A64 pump un restored for under $500.00 in restorable condition. It may take some time but you can find these for an affordable price. Get on oldgas.com and you might get lucky there as well.
Take care friend,

Thanks for the compliment Tom!
I’ve found some pumps at an old abandoned gas station in a very small town 15 miles south of me. Made an offer to the elderly woman who owns the property and thought I had 2 of the 4 she has bought. But she got sentimental and backed out. She still has my info so maybe she will call me some day as I did make a standup offer. I’m still looking around and have friends looking too.
I like that National 64A - Is this what it will look like when you get it restored? Very cool. I’m kind of partial to the
“Wayne” pumps (lol) models 70, 100a or 100b, but will settle on something else as long as they are cool, with patina, and at least 90% complete.
