    Cool--I would have never guessed someone collecting outboard motors.
    My grandfather had an old Sea Horse.

    I was addicted to the "Hokey-Pokey" but I've turned
    myself around.

    Nice bike Greg.........!


    Another casual interest of mine I can see turning quickly into another hobby.
    These are the four outboard motors I currently own. The red Johnson
    Sea Horse is a 1957 model.
    Nice Steve, this could only come from an old fisherman living close to a lake!
    Do they take up much room?

    Indeed Ralph - the '57 originally belonged to a friends father and they ran
    a family restaurant/marina until about 10 or 12 years ago.

    And yes, LOL, they can take up quite a bit of room if you do not have
    stands, or use only one stand per motor. Some outboard collectors
    place several motors ( 4 or 5 ) side-by-side across a sawhorse
    plank - You need a large, uncluttered garage or shed.........!

    LOL - these are all for my 12' boat as well !

    Some collectors don't care if they run or not, usually, and they pick them up
    reasonably cheap - even the older types from the 1920's or 1930's can go
    for $35 up to $100 - though a fisherman will usually pay more
    for a good running motor.

    Here is one I missed out on recently because I was really looking for a
    smaller 5.5HP. Below is an original 10HP in amazing condition from
    1958 ( it sold for only $275 ! ). It was made in Waukesha
    Wisconsin, USA. I think that year was the best ever
    for Johnson outboards - cosmetically speaking.

    Should have grabbed it......... !

    Now there's another interesting collectible. Some of these old
    telephones still work and are usable today.........!

    stuka f. Wow, thought you meant some old(ish) black bakelite telephone (bet you have those too ;-)), but that first one is simply a work of art. What a beautiful thing. Amazing, that this was once a common configuration.
