1 1/2 inch scale Marshall portable engine - stock code 9991

We sold this one previously to a long-time customer, it's recently arrived back as a part exchange, along with several other engines. Pictures opposite and words below from last time it was here, condition is unchanged.

A vintage 1 1/2 inch scale Marshall oilbath portable engine. An interesting older model - scratch built, we assume to the builder's own design.

Overall in good mechanical order although with some runout on the flywheel, the engine runs beautifully on air.
