I have a wingtip float for a WW2 vought OS2U Kingfisher floatplane.
I'd like to hear everyone's off the cuff opinion of what it should sell
for.
I want to sell it for something at least in the ball park of its value and
not essentially give it away.
Its major flaw is that a large section of the top metal was removed, back in
the 1950s, to convert
it into a kid's swingset swing.

Just quick value estimates posted here are fine.
Thanks for the help.

IF it were complete and unaltered, then you would be talking about a
couple of grand. As it is, maybe a couple of hundred bucks on the
outside to a Kingfisher lover.

Wow, I thought they worth more.
I found a website Australia showing the parts collected to restore a pair of
Kingfishers
and at least two of the three wingtip floats they have have the same postwar
cutouts in the tops.
The Kingfisher at the USS Alabama museum had to be restored with a Grumman
Albatross' floats, the
correct ones are so rare.
It may not be worth it to part with.
I may just have a hinged top made and use it as a coffin for when I kick
off.
