Mystery 2 cyl Rotary Engine

No one has been able to identify this 2 cylinder Rotary engine as yet. How about you? Have you ever seen anything like it? A few comments follow:

Here is a real unusual one. Too bad there are missing parts--I'd have liked to see the cam. Ken believes the engine has run, though I see no sign of rocker posts, or fixings for same. Hoping one of you may have seen it or something like it in an old magazine?

Can anyone help identify, I got this at a estate auction in a box lot of airplane engines, It looks like it ran at one time, Someone trook it apart. We are presently making the parts to go on front. It is a rotary engine similar to work by Hargraves in late 1800's Has intake valve in piston and 1 exhaust valve. Plugs are like none we ever seen.


other sizes: small medium original auto
