   I saw one like that years ago, was marketed by Montgomery Wards.  If it runs, its probably worth something.  Given its size maybe 15 HP?  Toss it on CL for $100 and see I suppose.

My guess is an Eska 3.5 or 5hp  They were often sold through retailers like sears and wards I think.  They were made in Iowa I think.
