That is a Quincy made pump, you can check eBay for what the Quincy 216 pump sell for. If you use a 3hp motor, that could be a really nice small shop/ home garage air compressor. If rebuildable, it could outlast you. This is one of the best mfg and this series is one of the best in the world. It’s old (1960/1970 guess)and not all of the hard parts are available. These are way nicer than the newer models in the 3hp range. This series uses pressurized oil vs splash lube, could be in amazing and rebuildable condition. I would say on FB marketplace 100-200 for the compressor, or if a parts machine 25-100, depending on area. Rebuild kits are around 150, but you need to see how the parts look. If you clean it up, you could sell the running unit and have money to buy a new motor and cash. A running machine will bring far more money, vs a gamble on a pump. If it has sat or continues to sit outside, the cylinders could rust, falls into the parts category.

Those old rotary valve pumps are bullet proof. You couldn't pry mine out of my garage.

Binks used the Quincy pumps on their small portable units for many years. The 216 is a single stage pump (max 100 psi) and that particular pump is a 'pilot run' unit which means it runs continuously, loads & unloads via the pilot valve. The small cover with 5 bolts is were a hydraulic unloader would install. You could add a pressure switch and valving to run either continuous or start-stop.
You can't beat a Quincy QR series pump.

I gave $300 for a complete, operating 216 a couple of years ago. It didn't need a thing, but I did move it from a horizontal tank to a vertical one and changed the oil in it.
Earlier that same year I bought a Binks with a 210 that needed a new head gasket for $45. This one is also a pilot valve version, which doesn't surprise me as Binks was selling them to use for spraying paint.

Pressure washed, an oil change, new air filter, up and running, that unit would have sold for enough to buy three electric motors.
