    parts out of a old steam engine ? one set of rods had dippers on them so they were wet others did not so one set of rods worked valve/release or just a low speed crank out of a industrial machine .pump. loom ???

    It's the missing flux capacitor from the Mr. Fusion unit in the back to the future Delorian! I swear! Seriously it's a cool crankshaft from some sort of engine!

    No idea what it fits, but I'd bet that the wife of the guy that took time to bolt it to that board for the Flea Market told him he was an idiot, too, but he sold it!

    That's the crankshaft for a 1912-1918 Wisenheim Knorklemister.

    ok Everyone. the mystery has been solved. It is the crank shaft for a 1928 willys knight. I called the woman who shipped it 20 years ago. Her name was on the return address. The flea market fellow has more parts for the engine. Dont know if iam going to buy the rest of the parts or not.
