No problem. Just thought I would ask. Thanks

Hi Doug. Nice collection. In third picture, the one in the center is an Auto Sparker used on IHC gas engines. I have several IHC engines it would work on. Would you consider selling it?
Sorry I have a full size hit miss engine as well.

I see one, second from the right in the front row, called an Ajax, I believe. I once had one like that called a "Li'l Hustler." Are they the same?
Sorry, I have no idea.

That demonstrator is very nice indeed.
You know, it's amazing what you can find lying around in schools. I once found a huge old power hacksaw under the stage of a school auditorium. It had been parked there by the shop teacher, who said it wouldn't cut properly. I dragged it home, and it cut just fine once I turned the blade around. 😋

Here is an early classroom demonstrator motor/generator. It could be wired to work as either. I found it at Cabin Fever a few years ago. My son saw it and was so intrigued with it that I sent it home with him. I realized I didn't have a pictures of it, so he sent me a few.[attachimg=2]

A picture of my small collection. Started out just looking for the Weeden Motors. But, I bought a few others along the way.

Very NICE ... thanks for accommodating me with that Doug ... I even like the "coffee grinding" sound of it.

Very nice group of definitely older members of the genre. Any chance at a better view of the hand cranked one hiding in the darkness behind the Sipp?

I don't collect them, but they do turn up. The first one drives an old watchmaker's lathe that I found last week, the second is a H&K toy motor that was a surprise found in a box with a blue Mamod steam wagon, and the third powers my 1930's model of HMS Lance, the destroyer that fired England's first shot in WW1.

I seem to keep picking up early motors, most of them toy motors, a few that are a little larger. I have quite a fascination for them, and wondered just how many other people collect these, as well. Also, early generators, mostly model and toy ones. I'm always interested in seeing ones that I don't have. This is part one, as the last post may or may not have all of the flame lickers I tried to post. I'll do this in two parts[attachimg=1][attachimg=2][attachimg=3][attachimg=5][attachimg=4]
