Need help identifying 5 old motors

[kmead]

I have rescued five old outboard motors from my father-in-law‘s basement, where they have been sitting for almost 60 years. I’m guessing most are pre-1960, and some may even be prewar. I’d like help in identifying them, and assessing their value. Ultimately I would like to sell them to the right person. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
(I could upload only four pictures, but I can certainly add more pictures if there is an interest.)
Thank for any help.

Looks like there’s a1929 ELTO Quad, or at least some of it.

The 1929 Elto Quad is in really bad shape. The OMC looks to be a 1-½ horse about 1932. The OMC with the dented tank may be a 4 horse around 1933. Without better pictures that is my best guess.

Thanks so much for all of the replies. I will post more pictures as soon as possible. I may be able to find more pieces of the Elto in my father-in-law‘s basement, which is filled with boat parts and auto parts.
As is, any idea of its value?
