The first part of the month I sent you folks a photo of an old engine that
was in my wife's family which made for lots of discussion. For the past
three weeks we have been going thru my wife's cousins house to get ready to
sell her estate. We are the executors, and has been non stop since her
passing March 2. She had no relatives and all her assets will be disposed of.
We came across an old photo album and when I picked it up what fell out
was another photo of the same engine taken the same day in a different pose.
How's that for luck! The two flywheels are definitely mismatched. Pulley
seen on the far side. Oiler seen on back side of engine. If that is the
muffler on the front side, it is almost bigger than the engine. On bottom of
photo is Clayton, 2 yrs old, which is my wife's father's brother, and his
age would date the photo to 1919. Very interesting stuff! Have fun!
