This was lying on the ground at the former home of a junk collector extraordinaire now deceased.

After seeing George Coates' work I almost wonder if it might be salvageable!

It is about 2.5 to 3 inch bore.

Unknown cylinder

The photo is hard to guess sizewise. It almost looks like a cylinder off an outboard motor, not an inboard. How big is it. If outboard I might guess it could be a mid 1920's elto speedster

It's either an outboard or one of those tiny inboards using what was originally an outboard motor. The casting number "370 7" might be a clue.

Free to anyone who pays the shipping!

My guess is a cylinder from an Elto ruddertwin outboard
