   Good Evening, 
Sadly, we are in the process of selling the house my wife grew up in. Her Dad is 92 years old and has gone into a nursing home recently since he can't get up nor walk on his own. He does use a wheelchair.As we are going through hundreds of items in his house, we have come across a Model number 25 Daisy Pump Gun.
The information on the gun is
MODEL NO. 25 DAISY PUMP GUN 
REG. NO. M911891
PATS. 2,724,897 - 2,758,586
DAISY MFG. CO.
ROGERS, ARK. U. S. A.

Nothing appears damage but I don't dare to find out if it works.
Could you tell us when it was made? How much it would have cost at the time of purchase?
Also, if it is working condition how much it is worth today?
I sincerely thank you for any information you can provide and taking the time to answer my questions.

	My best guess is late 1961 to early '62. There were millions of these made so unless it's in very good condition, the value isn't great. Isn't there a family member who would cherish such an heirloom? You could easily oil the seals and see how it shoots. It may still have BBs in the shot tube. If you want help with that, just let us know. Good luck.
