GUY’S I need your help with some ignition engine ID. I have NO clue about these gas burners. Never ran one.
I picked up TWENTY at an E State sale. ALL need cleaning. There were the obvious 2 McCoy 60’s and 49’s. 3 OR–60?’s. 2 Champions 60? And some with NO ID's at all. ANYWAY one that I would like to know is “KOPPERKING 60” looks cool, has working timing needs glass bowl. Second is “Fleetwind” got three of them. And one called DENNYMITE . If you can help I would like to know what I got.
I’m close to Floyd Carter maybe he can help.

The Kopperking is junk. Send me the prop nut and the backplate.No need to disassemble the junk in between.I'll send you the $5.00 by return mail.

Thanks

The Dennymite was sold by the actor Reginald Denny out of his hobbyshop in Hollywood. See this month's MA item about Denny.

Everything you have is more or less gold to a collector. ESPECIALLY the Kopper King. I would advise you to beg, borrow, or steal a copy of Frank Andersons' Blue Book before you do anything else.

It would help if you would list the names of all 20 of the engines that you have.

Copper King: Made both in 1941 and 1945: $600 - $750. (If it's in excellent condition and you didn't clean it and remove the copper plating)

It would also help if all the engines would turn over. (Don't break the rods trying!)

Tell us what you have.

You have a nice group of engines there. You should be very happy when you sell them. (I hope you got them reasonable)
