13 block serial number 186389. No casting date that I can find. The block was thermo cleaned, and shot peened clean. It was magma fluxed and has a crack along the water jacket area. It will need the usual machine work
The block has many of the 12 features such as the pronounced lip at the rear, and the single webbing.
Has some heavy pitting on exhaust/ intake side see photos
I can bolt down to a pallet and ship through Fastenal.
Or your welcome to come by and pick up in person

Nice!
Definitely an early enough block. Unusual to not have a casting date, but not unheard of. Between mid 1912 and early 1913, Minor changes to the engine block were being made. One result of this was that both the serial number and casting date were moved around several times! A side result was that some engine blocks had no casting date, and some had serial numbers stamped in the side of the water jacket without an embossment to put them on.
I have over the years seen a few mid 1912 to early 1913 blocks with no casting date.
Just for the edification of people that may be wondering about this oddity.

Round two.
