Hit and miss

[ShelleyWD45]

I have 2 old hit and miss engines. I’m wondering what price I could sell them for. They were my dads. I’m selling them for my 92 yr old mom. We can’t use them. I know my dad had one running a long time ago, but the other he didn’t. Here are pictures. Any help is greatly appreciated!

This place can help you. They specialize in antique equipment and are taking consignments for an upcoming auction. You can also Google Aumann Vintage Power to find their website.

Shelly top left one is a fairbanks "dishpan" bottom one may be a stover. I would advertise them locally. in my neck of the woods they would go for $250-500 dollars.

I would like to have the Fairbanks-Morse on the left. My Dad had one and built a Air Compressor out of it and we used it all thru my growing up years and he gave it to me when he replaced it. Pretty sure it pretty well beyond repair??? They are around and shipping to east Nebraska would be expensive so not actively looking.

I agree with Jocco, and the other one is a Stover, I have one

This idea is way off the subject but I have a Fairbanks engine like one this way beyond its "Running Years". I am fixing up a "Antique Machine shop" and thinking about trying to incorporate the Old Engine in so it turns with a small descreet Electric gearmotor and turning some Line shaft pulleys, Flat belts & Gears and maybe a machine. Trying to think of some idea for sound effects and puffing out steam or smoke on a timed sequence?? It would be just for "Show&Interest" and don't want any actual fire related activity. Any ideas?

Do you have any photos of that Fairbanks?
I have a 1912 Eclipse single flywheel.

I don't have a picture but its just like the first 3 pictures with the dished Flywheels on each side. My Dad made a air compressor out of it with a single large v-belt pulley on one side. we ran it with a large old 1 hp electric motor and used a relief valve for pressure control.
