Well, that does make it all the more special, for certain and for sure!!!
Making it even more special, I found his Facebook account with even more pictures! These will have to be printed off and laminated for display at shows. I have done similar with work from the Demon and Trevor of TTB
Caption from the engine picture:
“This engine is one quarter the size of the 1912 five HP
Red Wing Thorobred hit and miss engine produced in Red Wing, MN. This operational model was machined and built in my shop. Bore is 1 1/4" with a stroke of 2". It produces about 1/10th HP at 300 RPM. The speed is controlled by the governor holding the exhaust valve open. Stop by and we'll gas her up. It belts to my well pump.”
