Arch Two , Area 4 1912 |
A large black metal Meccano No.2 Clockwork Motor made by Märklin, dated to 1912 (between the founding of Meccano Ltd. (~1908) and the outbreak of World War One (1914).
Other than the blackened finish (which Marklin was fond of), it's identical to the silver version that it's alongside, and has identical dual branding for Marklin and Meccano.
Details
The clockwork motor is marked "No.2 / MOTOR / MECCANO LTD. / LIVERPOOL ENG." and "Germany /MADE IN WURTEMBERG", and seems to have been designed to power a large clockwork car.
