  1. Richard, Have you thought of a clock repairer or model engineer?
  2. You could suggest to the seller that he contacts one or more of the larger auctioneers or if he has a price in mind he could try a museum e.g. the Royal Armouries:- https://www.royalarmouries.org/visit-us/fort-nelson/
  3. The Bill Richards Collection Auction sale of a full size fibreglass replica Spitfire Mk IX Demonstration engines; Alvis Leonides, Griffon, Merlin & many other period aircraft parts:- http://www.cheffins.co.uk/catalogue/vintage/the-bill-richards-collection-459-0
  4. Have you checked the voltage of the battery? If a battery has been unused for a long time and especially if it has been in a cold place the voltage will drop to the point were it won't turn over the engine and may even not have enough power to light up a bulb. Another possibility that you have a faulty battery.
