[SEL] Engine Identification Needed

[Luke Tonneberger]

Hi Francis.

It is an Economy. Appears to have possibly came out of a cement mixer with 
that sproket on the end of the crankshaft.  Can't really read the serial 
number, all I can make out is the 23 at the beginning, probably a 1920 or 
1921 model. Serial number list is here on Keith Kinney's web page:

I'm not going to guess at the price. Others will add more info I hope. Mag 
is not original.
