Horseless Carriage Artifact.
Camshaft assembly from 1905 Reo, 2-cylinder engine, their first model, made by Ransom E. Olds, namesake of Oldsmobile. With large gear and some fittings. High quality bronze and steel. Overall length approximately 10 1/4. Gear 8" diameter, six spokes, 62 teeth. Almost certainly made by hand in their Lansing, Mich. factory. Probably correct for 1906 and 1907 also. Corrosion of short steel shaft and core end; bronze parts fine, all teeth sound and unbroken, but best suited as conversation piece for display. Interesting Canadian Maritimes provenance.
