Two Piece Timer
Would someone please tell me if this two-piece timer is original or original reproduction? I am in the process of pulling my 1909 engine from my car that has been sitting for forty years and never run. I need some assistance identifying this timer as I have little knowledge about them.

Re: Two Piece Timer
Appears to be a newer repro. This older post shows what is likely an original Ford. The finger lever on the original is more slim and detailed compared to the repro, plus the thumb screws on the original have wider knurl , IMO.
