I have been asked to try to sell the estate of a flying buddy. In the stuff is a "MERCO 61" 2 stroke, dirty and a little rough when turned over, an O.S. FS-60 4 stroke, open rocker, in fair condition, and an engine that has these marking on it, "VT 49" "made in austria" and what appears to be a HP or PH in a logo. It is a 4 stroke with the carb on the prop side. It has some epoxy helping to seal the carb manifold to the head. The glow plug is on the side of the engine. Any help in identifying this engine, and the approximate value of the engines would be greatly appreciated. We want to take these to the KCRC swap meet in Kansas City in a couple of months.

Thanks

Thanks for the lead. Found out almost everything there is to know about the VT 49.

Just for information, the MERCO 61 is aluminum finish.

Merco is made in England , has had a up & down life in this country. The OS open rocker has a collector following. Again all depends on condition ,Maybe $50.00ea for Merco & VT 49 & OS 60, $150.00. I am having some of my estate sale now, what don`t sell i`m taking with me! big max 1935 HAPPY NEW YEAR
