There is a steel crankshaft which appears to be commercially-produced, covered in preservative, along with a quantity of stock material and fasteners to complete the engine. The fasteners have surface rust, stock material is in substantially clean condition.

Complete with a set of drawings, weight of castings is a bit under a hundredweight.
