Wanted Air Starter or other oddball starting device

Post by robert daniello » Sat Jan 21, 2023 3:32 pm

This one is a long shot, but seeing that another member appears to have recently found a pull starter I will try for something even more weird.

Does anyone have an air starter, such as a Kellogg air starter like this:

Other manufacturers are fine. Would not need to be Ford specific. Looking for something in the '10-'14 era. Completeness would be important and I would pay a premium for that. Condition is less critical within limits. Since I don't believe these are too common I may consider less than complete if priced appropriately. Its a long shot but who knows?

Alternatively may be interested in other unusual and early starter, spring starter etc? If it is pre-'15, factory made, Rube Goldberg designed, and used by Captain Nemo, I am interested.

Finally, please note that I am looking for this as a mechanical curiosity, NOT a practical means of starting a car, the crank works just fine. It may or may not end up on a car depending on how well it works (if it ever worked?)...
