WOW! What is that opposed twin cycle engine with drive belts running to head in 1st photo?? What are the belts driving? Surely can’t be cams as heads don’t look tall enough to house cams and valves.

In the ’30s Evinrude recycled used and defective Speeditwin pistons as ash trays. They were polished and cut off at the wrist pin holes. The inside were painted black and the piston ring slots were painted red, green, yellow or blue and sold in sets of four. In the ’40s playing cards and matchbooks were added to the mix. My avatar is a 1947 lapel pin. The ones from the ’30s were polished brass. . . 😀

The frost on the iron I am guessing was a nickle plate. My brass one and the aluminium one are repros by a aomci member years ago. Said that he did not make many of the brass ones.
Years ago, now I think about it it was 20 years ago I was in Texas going to a training class at the Air Force base in Texas and there was an original one at an antique store and if I remember right the price was around 75.00 and they would not budge, so it stayed in Texas
