   Rob,   
   I just got into the stationary engine hobby myself. Its a very active   
   hobby and has been for years. All of the engines you have are   
   common and would be worth about $500-$1,000 each   
   assuming they are complete, original, and don't have any   
   serious defects (cracks in the cylenders, broken parts, etc.).   
      
   Consider keeping them. Watching them run is a blast!
