Default Original Weatherhead Petcock Valve

I hope this isn't a dumb question but...I have this original petcock valve and it appears to have small square hole in the sleeve (pic 1). All the threads are excellent and functional except for some pitting on the steel areas (see pics). The "W" is still visible and there appears to be a small stamping on the brass area where you would apply a wrench to. Now for the question...What is something like this worth in the condition listed? Thanks guys.

Sal

That one is a little rough so about $20 max.
I had about a dozen of those a few years ago and I averaged about $40 to $80 each depending on better conditioned ones than the one you show there.
Just my experience and opinion on these. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
The bolt is also a Weatherhead Emblem along with the one on the Ear/Wing Arm and the other side of the arm should read 94.

This is a photo of the last one I had in stock a few years ago that sold for $80. I also had a couple of &quot;Eaton&quot; ones in stock but they are a lot harder to find.
As you can see it was in like new shape even though it was a used unit.
Not sure if they pull the same money now as it has been awhile since I sold or got another one. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Some of them have the slotted bottom and some of them are like this one shows on the bottom.
