Good point perhaps the bar joining them helps?

I bought this trailer as I like it but haven't a clue what it is?

Now this forum has never let me down identifying mystery objects so here goes.

I was told the suspension is vespa?

Wartime civil defence - fire guard.Fire watchers & street fire parties. As opposed to AFS or NFS who used Brodie pattern.

Thanks any idea of value?

Great job and very useful too, The "T" plate is a nice touch as they are like hens teeth

Could any one help me identify this helmet?

Its different to the Brodie type I have seen before?

Has fixing in the very top of the dome, leather harness inside have had a good Google but can't see anything the same?

Leather is embossed 7 I assume the size?

1941 and B.H ? embossed on to the leather 

FC painted on the front

Well you have done it again

Thanks very much how did you track that down?

Once I googled the brand ( Mine has no label) I did find a mention of people trying to pass them off as military but apparently they are not.

Well I really appreciate your help, keep up the good work..

After months of research some one on here correctly identified my Mystery engine in 5 minutes so here goes.

Found this whilst clearing a deceased  chaps garage, Looks Military to me but no makers marks, very well made real leather and fur very heavy, sadly I am too fat for it just wondered does any one recognise it?

Thanks

Thanks Clive 

Thanks very much any idea of value?

Looks like a NATO at first glance but its different?

Any ideas? No makers marks I can see

Sorry it was sold

Just checked the threads are metric?

Four positions so 3 speed and reverse

Thanks Is the big lump of metal a Brake?

I believe they are from the 70's?

Boxes are nice and have some very nice latches on them 

I have two in same condition £40 each

Now as you did an outstanding job of identifying the Mystery engine, any ideas about this?

I also have a Mystery Motorcycle wheel I will post when I find it!

More photos sent via pm with sizes

Tried three different size metric nuts on the threads and it looks to be metric

Can you give the measurement between chassis mounting points. Height, length and width over. Also flywheel diameter

Its my sons but he want to sell it as he has no use for it.

He has a box of bits to go with it and a Mag that could be made to fit

The plugs are to access the valves which are typical of a fixed-head engine. The Thorny and the Dennis are the same. The centre plugs must be a simpler way of sealing off the water jacket instead of a flanged cover with studs.

You are right, the apparent spare follower positions are intriguing. To someone who knows what the engine is, they will be the main clue!

It is amazing what is about even 100 years later.

Suddenly another came along!

Wow

Well I told my son some one may know I don't think he believed we would have an answer so quickly!

Thanks Doc could you send a links I am struggling to find it?

Would any one know what this is?

my son has been told its possibly Darracq?

1905-1911?

Any ideas as we can't find much out.

Better picture
