[SEL] Salesman Sample Olds?

[Judge Tommy Turner]

OK folks.  I'm a bit baffled by a little Olds engine that I just got.  
Its in outstanding original condition.  I can't find any reference to 
one this small.  It looks exactly like the larger Type A's, but is very 
small.  The flywheels measure around 10 inches.  I am curious if this 
might be a Salesman Sample but by Olds for their traveling salesman to 
demonstrate.  I think the little engine would run with about 30 minutes 
work.  It's very dirty and needs a good cleaning.  Otherwise, I think 
its a little jewel.  Here are a few photos:

In this one, you see the side view of the engine.  The decal actually is 
in better shape and more readable than the photo shows:

It has a nice little pulley on it, for demo purposes I'm sure:

As mentioned, the flywheels measure about 10 inches:

It has a cast iron splash shield like the larger Type A's:

The carb and ignition are just like the larger Type A's also:

These photos give you an idea about the size of the engine.  This is a 1 
gallon Mineral Spirits can:

Tell me what you think.  Is it a Salesman Sample?
