Try Smokestack, and list it in the steam forum. You might get lucky, just be aware there were a lot of jobbers building engines, some with very limited production. Good luck, Kevin

Closest I could find. for "Vertical Steam Engine". There are many similar in shape but none with the same dual fly wheels. These were used in small locomotives, boats etc

most likely what you have is a Kerwood, made for sears and many other outlets, the only way to find for sure is the casting numbers IF there are any,, i have owned several over the years, i have a picture taken of me 50 years ago at a show with one i saved, it ran a sausage grinder in a butcher shop,in the day not every one had electric wiring and motors to do the work but they had boilers, i will find the photo to show, that type engine was refered to as a bottle engine, depending on boiler pressure 4-6 hp,

That last photo is of a duplex pump
Steam cylinders on one side and the pump cylinders on the other. Used as a boiler feed pump.
