It's not electric but it is antique- A Dennymite .57 spark ignition.

[Frank v B]

A supplier dropped by today and gave some RC stuff from his deceased father (plane, radio equipment, this motor).

Does anyone know details about this motor.  Eric Adams? Roy Bourke? etc.

A Dennymite .57 ci spark ignition.  From a quick look at the net it appears to be from about 1938-'39.  It has a metal tank (they switched to a clear tank in 1939).  The serial number is 1827 stamped on the mounting lug.

Any idea how rare it is, its value and collectibility for those who like oil.
