SteamShovel1923

Here are some items I found together, what year and make are they from? Does the hood ornament match either door handel? The bottom of the hood ornament reads " NORLIPP 80 CHICAGO USA " The mirror looks to be aftermarket, it has a thermometer on it it says " JOMA" made in the USA. Thanks Dan

I understand that these engines were put in Aulburns and other cars but do not know the other makes? Any clues. Dan

What year is this Gardner engine, they only made them between 1925 thur 1929. The model number on the brass plate reads: GARDNER EIGHT IN-LINE Motor No. MD G22174 Thanks Dan

I have a whole truck thats mounted on a K-5 Blazer frame, the truck was a roll over but there are a lot of good parts on it, I will take pictures of it including the bed. I need your e-mail address to send them. Thanks Dan

I might have what your looking for. I have had a set for years and did not want to part with them but I may consider it. Thanks Dan

Would that be on the aluminum part or higher under the water pump? Dan

Another view of engine.

I was told that the earlier ones did have a spark plug in them, never seen one. Here is some pictures of the six cylinder engine I found nearby, maybe a 1927? Also found nearby a 26-27 packard car all that was left was the frame, rear axle, springs, alum. floor board, drivers seat, and firewall. I am posting the pictures of the engine. All this stuff is for sale. Maybe its all tied together. Dan

Thanks for the info. Dan

It is a coverted horse drawn doctors buggy, as for a drivetrain I see a rope or chain going down to the right rear wheel. I know it looks like that line goes to the other wheel, like that of a straight rear axle but buggies had high arched axles. As for steering, the front axle pivoted on one bolt and it looks as if the guys in the front seat might be using a crude steering system of ropes coming up through the floor(hard to see in picture). I also see a possible turn-buckle holding the weight of the engine on the front of the buggy( probably has one on each side). Our museum has about six different power plants that would fit under that cover (steam or gas). The guy cranking the engine is probably the mastermind builder. This is a go-cart of its day and these guys are out having fun. I will try and post a picture of this exact buggy from the same angle and you will get a better perspective of what they did here. Dan

I did the same thing and they are six cylinder heads. Also if they were Cadillac heads the valve covers would not use the rocker rail bolts to attach the vavle covers, they would bolt directly to the cylinder heads at the base of the valve covers through the gasket. Thanks for all the help Dan

Thanks everyone you really nailed this one! Hope someone can figure out my V-12 heads? I've loaded 5000 antique car and truck parts and am headed out to a swap meet tommorow in Colorado. Thanks Dan
