[SEL] Vaughan Motor; Mitchell, Lewis, Staver Motor

[SIEFKER, DONALD L]

Hello Colin,
 
I don't know anything about the Vaughan Motor Works but I do have one picture of a Vaughan Motor Works engine/motor, Portland, Oregon on my website.  I took this picture at a show in Indiana in 2002.  
To see it go to

	I was visiting an old dredge museum in eastern Oregon last week, and saw
	in the yard there a small motor made by Vaughan Motor Works in Portland,
	Oregon.  Since I live in Portland, I am thinking I would like to find one
	of these.  I find no information on it by doing internet searches, other
	than some photos of a unit at a museum in Australia.  Does anyone have
	any information on one of these, or does anyone have one of these in
	restorable condition that they would be willing to part with? 
	Also, I am going to an auction south of me where there is a motor made by
	Mitchell, Lewis, & Staver, again of Portland, Oregon.  I am looking for
	the same information on that motor, as well as an estimate of what would
	be an acceptable price to bid on it.  It does not run, does not turn, but
	looks to be all there.  It is painted orange, but I do not know if that
	is original or not.  I do not know the model, but the flywheel is about 2
	to 3 feet in diameter, it is a single piston motor, and it has the CI
	water tank on it.
