About the Item
Elmer Wall model gas powered engines became popular on a large scale beginning in the 1930s, though he began designing and crafting miniature gas engines for his son as early as 1904. Wall's engines were popular among model engineers and hobbyists. One of his most notable models was a 50cc four-cylinder, in-line, water-cooled, four-stroke engine. The crankcase or other parts of these engines bore the lettering ''E. WALL - CHICAGO. cast in relief as shown here. These models were delivered as rough kits and took a skilled machinist to finish well enough to run. The engine has good compression and is presented very well.

Very Large Ophtalmotrope
Located in Peekskill, NY
What is an ophthalmotrope? An ophthalmotrope is an apparatus for demonstrating the movements of the eye and the action of the different muscles which produce them, consisting essentially of a model eyeball to which are attached strings and pulleys to duplicate the line force of the muscles.
We think this example is most likely French from the early 20th century. The base is marble with paw feet. It’s also quite large at well over 3 foot tall. This instrument is very complete. It also includes additional parts to set the mechanics up in a different way. In the pictures above the strings are attached to a keyboard. The alternative replaces the keyboard with string guide with a dozen hanging tubular weights. This is one of the largest and most decorative examples we have seen. I have only seen pictures of ophthalmotropes and never one this fine and complete. It’s as rare and impressive show piece.
This item was also used in the movie Knives Out,
