In case anyone wishes to see the motor better....here it is. I like how Berliner used a type of cotter pin to close the spring barrel.... .

Re: Today's Garage Sale Find
Congratulations on yet another great find.
Amazing that it is in such great shape for 106 yrs old! No repairs or refinishing, it almost looks brand new.

Very cool in every way! You are one fortunate guy!
Curious: what's the function of the little knob above and to the right of the crank? (Let me guess: it's a release of some kind for the motor board?)

Congratulations! It is things like that that keep us all hoping and meandering around thrift shops and garage sales. Now and then lightening still strikes.
