I don't think that is a little angel. the Little angel has a head on it. I think that this one is a Duclos odds and ends engine with a few details added.

hi Oldncrusty
I can not help with plans or such, but I was interested in your engine as its unique and goes to show how well these little motors lend to expression.
Im sure that with a little bit of work it will be something to be proud of.

thank you, i just got my lathe and i am rebuilding it, its in pieces now, and im having a ball,
once i get it back togeather im going to buy a milling kit for it, and then start finishing the motor,

I thank god ive found my girlfriend, hey she lets me use her oven to dry my lathe parts,,,
