| Appraiser Comments: | Base on the information an images that you have submitted I would identify the item as Outboard Collectible, Muncie Gear Co., Neptune Outboard Motor, Model 15B2, Serial #F4031, Circa 1940s, Restored/Reconditioned, Condition (As Per Application) "Very Fine". Please note that I could not indicate if the motor is in working order in the evaluation based on your statement. Working order is very important in the value and the ability to sell to collectors. Your motor look's to be of museum quality (restored) but it must be in working order to get the full value. The value below is based on the fact that the motor may or may work and I must assume that it will not work. If the is in working order the values of the outboard motor would be estimated about 2 to 2.15 times the values indicated below. |
