I think those are on the list of forbidden substances due to the radioactive bearing material. Send it to me quietly and I will properly dispose of it and not tell the Feds where it came from. Wouldn't want you to get into trouble!

In all seriousness, I think there are collectors who would be interested in this engine!

In case you are interested there is a good article on Reginald Denny (30's and 40's movie star and model enthusiast) who was the man behind the Dennymite engine. It's in the September issue of Model Aviation, the AMA Magazine ............RJ

Anderson's Blue Book (3d edition) gives values from $275-$425 depending on model and condition.
