1958 Johnson 10HP QD-19 Outboard Motor Original or Restored? Amazing Condition

My wife and I looked this over as we were getting the listing together. We both believe this is factory original condition but we do not know its history. It has just enough wear in the right places, thumb screws, back where you rest the motor on the ground and a little bit on the face control panel. It had pretty heavy dust in several areas. Not of the screws or bolts show signs of tools taking them in and out. It is really tough to say factory original or professional restoration several years ago. The face plate grommet and the recoil grommet are perfect and tough to find for a restoration. The plugs and pistons both give the appearance of being run a couple of hours. The motor rolls over smooth with good compression but I have not started it. It belongs in a museum instead of the back of a boat. I took lots of pictures so the buyer can make their own assessment. The motor will clean up some from where it is at. There is dust in different areas but was cleaning up easily with a little dawn and water. The person I purchased this and a 5.5hp that is just as pretty from an estate sale. They were the only two outboards there and he did not get any history on them. These two motors are the nicest examples I have ever seen of these vintage motors. The 5.5 hp was listed shortly before this one. This motor uses a pressure gas tank which is not included but I do have some available if you need one. $50 crating fee included in the shipping total shown in this listing. Local inspection and pickup is free from our business in SW Michigan, Plainwell. This motor weighs around 66 pounds, ship weight is at 115 due to the weight of the shipping crate. Please only serious reasonable offers. This looks great at the entrance to our business and I will be a little bummed out when it goes away!
