Almost certainly these are model boat power units, so it looks to me as if this one is for a boat and ship modelling group or even, if there is one, your local boat modelling club. But either way some indications of sizes would be useful. I note that a couple of the boilers have pressure gauges, the range of the scales of these would also be useful. Do any of them have a red line marked on the scale?

Pictures 10 and 10A are of a Stuart boiler, s500, 501 or 504.

Take a look at

there are pictures of Stuart models, maybe some of your engines will be identifiable from their pictures. =20

Valuation: sometimes they appear on ebay and the bidding *may* give you an idea.

I agree with you. Boating is more appropriate place for them, But believe the engnineering community has more knowledge. And yes I thin they are all marine engines.

Pics 1 & 2 are a marine Stuart 10V Pics 3 & 3A appear to be their twin cylinder oscillating engine. Pics 10 & 10A are a Stuart boiler suitable for the 10V. Pic 12 looks like the Stuart twin boiler.

I don't recognise anything else.

It would help if you included a ruler or object of recognisable size in each picture (such as a coin) to give us a clue to scale.

note some of the stuff in development used to be available from them IIRC, they don't seem to do boilers now though.
