Unusual stationary engine on e-bay

Had a look in Wendel and I'd go along with the Cushman ID - 3 or 4 horse in prod'n from 1910 'till mid 1930's. If it is an early one it wouldn't have had a mag anyway, just contacts and a buzz coil.

One almost feels the 'period' set up with 2 gal petrol can should be preserved - make super set dressing for a ramshackle farm ?

Anyone know what this is?

"American gasoline engines since 1872" by Chas Wendel. A weighty tome often known as BYB or BRB (big yellow.red book) depending on edition.

Nick,

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the title of 'Wendel'? It's not one I've seen before.

Thanks Nick,

I just found a copy on Amazon.
