I would greatly appreciate any info on it.
Thank you.

The tail in the left side of the picture is the one for it. Other is an Aermotor tail.

That is definitely a Star 24. Are you planning g to restore it? I have restored several Star 37's, which are very similar to the 24. I did not see a hood or helmet in the pictures. Did you find a square sheet metal hood for it? Looks like a fun project. If you have questions, let us know.
