If the tank is not rusty inside and holds pressure (let it sit in the sun awhile and then loosen the cap and see if you hear pressure releasing)the tank could be worth up to $100.

I’ve got a couple of those 5-1./2 HP motors. They were made in that configuration with changes in the color of the case from 1954-1958. They continued into the mid-1960s with changes to a single line tank and a thermostat in the cooling system.
