old Studebaker carbs

[first timer]

Hey guy, i got a couple questions for you, I was helping my grandffather clean out his basement and we came across these carbs,

I did a little digging and found out they are studebaker carbs may early 30's an you guys tell me which model studebaker or type of motor these carbs would have went to.

i was thinking of selling these on ebay is it worth it, and should i try to clean them up a little, like dip them and stuff, i am good with carbs i work on inline 4 bike which run 4 carbs so i know how to take carbs apart carefully and clean them.

what are some of your opinions on these.

thanks so much

Look to be late teens to early 20's. There should be a model number cast into the side of the main body. A couple of examples of a valid model number are LS-2 and OE-1. There will also be a serial number stamped on the carb. Let us know what the models are and we can help you with the application. And I agree that you should sell them as is.

thanks,

I was meaning to add that info and just plain forgot, the carb info on the first carb is as follows OE-1 then stamped under that is the number 2145408

and the other carb is a OE-2 number under it is 2270378

thanks for the advise on not cleaning, is that because it is better to let a collector or enthusist that knows these carbs clean them?

The OE1 was used on the Studebaker Light 6 from about 1923 - 1924 (EM model). The OE2, I believe, is a larger version, but I do not believe it to have originally been used on a Studebaker,

Regarding the cleaning; personally I would be going through any carburetor that I purchased regardless of whether or not someone else had "cleaned" it.

what do you think a fair starting price would be for these, and is there a demand for these type of carbs, thanks so much for your help.
