Nice find ! What was the asking price ?
Looks like maybe early 1960’s? Yamaha P3. Good motor.

Those small outboards can be a fun item to collect and display in a “game room” , garage, or a inside/outside home barroom. The ability to easily carry them and mount them to a sawhorse {or a wall or ceiling rafters} increases their desirability., even if they don't run.
I had an old 1930’s Evinrude given to me and after a few years displaying it by the river with some vintage fishing gear I was given (and offered) a whole lot of little outboards to go with it. Since the Chinese Wuhan Covid 19 Sars Virus the popularity of “safer” outdoor little gathering places has blossomed along our river-fronts and lakesides. Little carports and “tiki-huts” cabanas and tents are popping up with multiple spaced picnic tables for “safe distancing”  and get decorated with little outboards and vintage fishing/camping stuff etc etc. Big screen TV for sports and a little portable bar & grill is super popular here in middle USA now. Way for family and friends to get together again relatively safely.
Little outboards are a crowd pleaser on display. You can start them up in a bucket of water. If they run , they are relatively slow, so kids can use them on small boats to learn to be a “captain”.



Pic of one of the most popular “new” socially distancing restaurant and taverns in our area. They hauled up an old boat to dry land under the roof and turned it into a bar ! Decorated the outside with 1920’s boats/motor near picnic tables.
