New toy, I’m pretty sure its a Clerget cylinder but would welcome confirmation/correction. 120mm bore size, 2 spark plug holes seems to match pictures for a Clerget, which model though ?
It’s been made into a dinner gong (or WWI scramble bell if you prefer for ebay :diablo:) with a con rod as clanger. The top isn’t alloy just a result of a homemade soda blaster!!

Clerget 9b I think.

It does look Clerget to me, they were 120mm bore with 172mm stroke and a steel barrell. The two spark plugs close to each other is obviously a feature although the Bentley BR1 had the same bore and spark plug arrangement but the barrel was aluminium with a steel liner.

The ABC Dragonfly was a radial with spark plugs on opposite sides of the bore.

Cylinder
I think it looks very much like a cylinder from an ABC Dragonfly rotary.
Possibly one of the worst engines ever built. 😉
