Default Old Timer engine. Does anyone know anything about it?

On the back of the crankcase, it says "Old Timer 032." It is way too big to be a .032, though. It might be a .32.

Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Maybe some people here know what it is, but don't want to admit being that old!

Clarence Lee, that writes the engine column for Model Airplane News would know, but I don't believe he does anything digital/computer.

I took a look through the AMEE book and I didn't spot any engine that looked like that engine depicted. So if it isn't in the AMEE then it is either a modern replica engine or it is a foreign non-USA made engine. But I did skip over the big brand engines, like OK, McCoy, O&R, FOX and K&B though. So I could have missed it. Some schools here in the USA did make a some replica and reproduction engines in the past too. But some others were known to make replicas or repro engines too. They could have made it as well. Since some people in foreign countries, Australia, UK, France, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Ukraine (Russia), Germany, Austria, Italy and others make engines too. It could be something that they had done.

I found out about it in another forum. 032 would have meant it is 3.2cc or .19 cubic inch in displacement.
