Which means that he either didn't see it getting anywhere near his reserve, or it was sold privately.

I believe this little engine was intended as Blackstone's answer to the Lister D. Anyone know how successful they were?
I thought this was a nice little engine. Anyone know when they were introduced and how long they sold for?
The curved spoke flywheel would have looked very old fashioned by the twenties, surely?

Gentlemen,
I have only ever seen a couple of these engines and its a nice little engine but I also think that its reserve was obviousely a bit high, £150.00 would seem enough for it dont you think.

Arthur, According to A-Z of Engines it was brought out as competition to the Lister D but when Blackstone bought Lister it was removed to stop the competition.

I didn't even notice that it had been withdrawn, thought 'bridportcoachworks' had bought it - duh!
I think you're being parsimonious (sp) Martin and the identity of the high bidder suggests that there was till a "dealers margin" at that price. They sell well in the US! AFAIK made early 1930s. ttfn Roland
Probably the latter - it's how I got the Parsons.
