Thanks! You folks are the best!

Update- I picked up the motor.  It is a 1953 Wards Sea King 3HP. Model # 35GG-9004B, Serial # 522137  Now, if I could figure out what the original colors were. This is faded to all over gray, with barely discernable decals, but that is half the fun!

Update- After taking the fuel tank off, I can see the original color of the shroud/trim. I believe it matches up with the Vintage Outboard  Paint color Sea King Blue Metallic 51-58. The lower unit is an off white, that seems to fit Sea King White 51-58.

Now comes the fun of disassembly, clean up and the search for parts. I imagine the gaskets and seals are going to be the big challenge.
