What is this page? This page identifies and pictures all cast metal collectible “K&O” and Alterscale outboards made to date. The K&O outboards were made from 1952 to 1962 are are available only from other collectors as K&O ceased production in 1962. Alterscale models are current production models available directly from Alterscale and through many outboard dealers. Plastic toy outboards do not carry a value premium (as reflected in market prices) like those constructed of metal. K&O antique toy outboards trade in the range of $100 to thousands

Buying and Selling K&O Antique Toy Outboard (from the 1950’s and ’60’s): Premiere collectors who also purchase, trade, and sell antique K&O models: Jack Browning (email: JBrow9945@aol.com ): 214 16th Street; Roanoke, VA 24017 (ph: 540-982-1253). Jack wrote the book “Toy Outboards.” Also contact Bill Arick, 400 N. Meridian, Valley Center, KS 67147 (ph: 316-755-1528); Terry Topjun: PO Box 4487, Sevierville, TN (ph: 941-920-2002) email: terrytopjun@alterscale.com (Terry often has Mercs). These enthusiasts generally have quite a few K&O outboard models for sale. Bill Arick has available many remolded parts (cast in metal) for the K&O outboard Toys. He also has “cast metal display stands” modeled on the (real) Mercury stands. The stands are very to-scale and quite nicely done. Contact Jack or Bill or Terry directly at the numbers above. Please keep in mind that these outboards trade as “antique toys” and are relatively expensive. Many thanks to collector Bob McDonald (email: Jb6290@aol.com ) for help with the K&O photos. Bob buys sells and trades toy outboards: ph: 718-762-2541; address: Bob McDonald; 166-12 29th Avenue; Flushing, NY 11358-1402.
