. I acquired this rather large and heavy engine at the weekend and paid £100 for it.
Its very heavy (10kg) stands almost 10" tall (excluding wooden base)
Looks like a 1" bore with 1" stroke and the flywheel is 6" diameter and 3/4" wide.
The base casting is huge and looks industrial although no visible markings or plate.
Its been suggested that its a Victorian workshop engine used to power small bench tools.
Another thought that its an apprentice piece or an exhibition model made by a full size engine manufacturer.
Any help guidance and opinions would be appreciated.
