Power Products two stroke engine help

[IRB]

hi, I just picked up a couple of engines at a sale the other day and was wondering if anybody could help me identify them, tell me some info on them: such as how old they are or some other info on them...I know they are made by Power Products out of Graeton Wis...i just want to know how old they are, and if they are worth anything...


here are the pictures:

the first 4 pics are of a motor by itself with the model #AH47 and type-F1044

and the second set are of an old edger. Its model # is AV31 and type P291.

If any of you could give me some info on these engines, that would be awesome.

thank you all so much in advance.

Neat little edger, wouldn't mind that myself!!

Looking through my Power Products info found reference to Model AH-31 for years 1948 - 1953. Rated at 1.15 HP. Looks like AH-47 was made 1948 - 1955. Rated at 2 HP. I'm not sure how old this information is as didn't see a date for printing. It's possible the Model AH-47 may have been made into the early 1960's?? Think it was a popular engine for various models of chain saws. Believe Power Products engines were also used on a lot of grain fill augers that were mounted on the back of a grain truck and used to fill drills and discers during spring seeding.

My father got hold of a power products 2 stroke like those shown in 1954. We connected it to a water pump and used it to provide water from a well to make concrete when we were building a house in the Bahamas. It didn't last long. There was no bearing shell built into the connecting rod and the aluminium soon wore out.

The AH-47 is an early '50s model
