For awhile I thought these timers were made by Torrey Roller Bushing for their own engines. However, I have since seen other engines in ads that used these identical timers. Apparently, there was a supplier out there somewhere who sold them off the shelf. This timer is missing it's handle and knob, a loss I hope to remedy when I attempt to learn how to use a lathe this winter. I have the two cylinders (cracked from salt damage), the flywheel with half the crankshaft, the base, the timer, and one piston for this engine. Maybe I'll get lucky and find another one with the needed parts. Right!!!!!
