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!
