Very close. I'm keep an eye on it.

At first glance it appears that one head has babbitt, the other possibly Hyatts. Shafts and mountings are different if that's true. I have converted Hyatt models to babbitt. Hyatt models have bearing carriers that sit in the mainframe. Babbitt models don't. I think I see a pocket in the mainframe of one that takes the hyatt carrier.

Tim , thanks for posting this one , looks like it needs to be saved & up flying again .

hope someone here gets it

The one does look like it might be Hyatt that model started in the 1920s sometime.
