Post by Bill_Wolf »

I will use these to display with my truck at events.

A Med box for the Med Ben Hur Trailer. 1910 latest patent date (update: just found out this is a WWI medical chest)

And a gasoline powered stationary motor built by the now Mercury Marines founder Kiekhaefer Mercury. These were used to power lots of stuff including
Military Washing machines, saw sharpeners, and water pumps. 3.5 hp.

Original OD paint covered with orange. Looks like it could have been a navy unit
