mystery engine

Can anyone identify the incomplete set of parts in this picture?:

I don't want to bid on it unless I can get the drawings for it.Thanks for looking,guys.

Those certainly have the appearance of a Stuart 10H engine. The bedplate is different however in that the front portion raduis' out instead of having a slanted side and mounting lug. Perhaps it is a very early version of the 10H. The cylinder and trunk casting sure look like Stuart. Any idea of what the bore of the cylinder is? It would almost be worth the money as the missing parts should not be too difficult to figure out sizes for.

Hi,Jim,no size is mentioned in the auction.I'm not confident about being able to do the rest of the engine without drawings.Perhaps I should leave to someone more competent :-\

Looks like a Stuart 10h to me as well just pulled out the casting set to compare.
The dimensions given bed plate dimensions and flywheel diameter are a bit bigger than my Stuart casting so may very well be a older casting set.
But for $25 you have the main castings you should be able to finish itout with bar stock

Looks very Stuartesque to me as well, If you decide against it, Hans, let me know!

If it was here in the states I would jump on it as long as the shipping price was not jacked up a ridiculous amount.
Looks like a nice deal for someone, grab it man or let tell have a go at it.
