Need information on WinPower Model G-15C18D Generators and how to sell them
My step dad has two of these he said there from 1958. He's been holding on the the for about 10 years and now he's going to see about selling them. I don't know much about generators and I don't know how well the word "vintage" is on the, I know they don't age like fine wine but between the both of the they have about 2 hours of run time. One of them starts up and runs. The other one we are thing of selling for parts or scraps which ever is more lucrative. Any advice on how or where to sell these. And if anyone knows someone who already have one of those or one similar that could use the parts who would maybe be interested.

Heavy cast iron mechanism, about 25” wide. Two large toothed gears that mesh together in a cast iron frame with mounting points on the base. Found on ranch, rocky Texas hill country. About 50 pounds.

Cool old hand tools
Came across these tools that were seemingly abandoned in the woods long ago. Found em in North Jersey near a creek but clearly placed together away from any water. I know there were some homesteads constructed in those woods in the mid 1800s but not much else. Any ball park guesses for how long they’ve been deteriorating for? Thanks!

Any ideas about this post drill of when and who made it?
Found this in my grandfathers garage a while ago and I just started to clean it, if I remember right, he thought it was from the 1850s. All square bolts and mostly cast iron.

Hey y'all. I just moved into a 150ish year old farm house and this is in the cellar. I know I'm going to have to rebuild the base, but do you guys think I could clean it up, put a blade on it, and use it to mill if I attached a small motor to the belt receiver or would it turn into a death trap?

Details on the IR 251
Does anyone know the specs or torque of the IR 251? I can hardly find anything on it, atleast that isn't confusing it with the 261.

Found this while remodeling an old contractor’s house
It’s a cool adjustable, I found it upstate NY, if anybody has some backstory behind the manufacturer or where I can see what it looked like new, I’d appreciate it!

What are these?
All found on the beach on the east coast of Canada. I know the far left is a sacrificial anode. I know the top middle is maybe a splitting wedge? And I know the one to the immediate right is for holding open an old wooden window. The bottom middle (red/yellow in colour) I believe is something to rig rope on a boat? Most of this was figured out through Reddit and Google images 😅 anyone know what the rest are??? Thanks!

Electrical Engine in winery
I'm looking for information regarding the make and model of this motor. I couldn't clean it since it's located high up (the photos were taken with a drone), nor could I see the nameplate. All I know is that it is located in a winery in Chile.
