sorry… my camera doesn’t seem to want to upload.
Mine looks exactly like the Evinrude stands but without the name cast into the head.

They were carried in the Accessaries booklet for over 20 years. Most were black, Ours broke when attempting to move it with a Big Four attached. . . 😆

if your software or camera won’t " upload" just pull the memory card from the camera and insert it in the memory card slot on your PC …

your PC should then show the new storage device added in and you can use your FILE EXPLORER to copy paste those pictures onto your main drive PICTURES file

Very nice response and thanks for the photos.
But I’m trying to figure out if it’s just a neat old stand or a valued collector item.
Keep the patina or blast and paint?
Thanks.

It looks as if your stand has been painted numerous times. My vote would be to strip and paint, but that is up to the current owner. As far a value, it depends upon who is involved. A friend of my in the boating and outboard business since he was a little boy gave me one of those stands last year. Every so often, there is one on eBay of 3 or 4 hundred dollars. So, what are they worth? The usual answer is, "they are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them". It is not an exact science and there are no books in which to look up an answer. I usually suggest to eBay sellers to put a price that they think is acceptable and then add the "make an offer" button. Then, you may learn what the market will bare without giving it away.
