Pay no attention to the photographer's shadow.

The 1929 photo of the Boyle Dayton plant was more than likely taken before 1929 as in 1928 the company was purchased by the Wayne pump Company and production was subsequently moved to Wayne, Indiana. Boyle Dayton visible pumps are now quite the collector's item with one in good condition or restored often selling to collectors for between $8,000 to $12,000. Certain models associated with specific retail gasoline brands can bring greater amounts. There is such a demand for these old pumps that reproduction repair parts are readily available.
