Actually, I never thought about doing a search until WR gave me that clue...I'll never tell how I knew the Model Number

Today's happy "Grand Prize Winner" is....
....well I'm not sure....let's see.... 
Bill was on the trail quickly, spotting the Magnum carb
and the old OS FSR clamp on muffler...but blew the
engine ID.
Zagnut ID'ed the 11'' prop, and made a correct guess at
the engine size....yes it's a .60....and yes it's an Enya....
(with an incorrect carb and an ugly muffler that don't fit)
....but didn't take a stab at the rpm....
Bill at this point get's an "Honourable Mention" for being
100% correct about the photo lesson....albeit the picture
was a digital shot....it was taken outdoors in broad daylight
with a flash to freeze the movement....
Then our fellow gear-head ChuckAuger....(Mr. Smarty-pants)
came in there and hammered Bill with the correct answer
whilst Bill was flipping through old engine catalogs like a
wild-man....heh heh heh....even coming up with the correct
2900 rpm (fast idle)....
For his correct answers....Chuck wins this wonderfull, almost
complete set of Vintage, and collectable....Top Flight Aero
Motor propellers....that he can use and enjoy on his Aero
Motors....or pass down to his Grandkids. Won't they have
fun cutting their fingers on these "timeless classics''.

Chuck:
It really was more simple for me than a search.
I recognized the muffler from an OS I used to have, and when I made a copy of Dave's picture, planning on a close inspection, I found he had saved it under the title "Enya_60.jpg." And that's how he gave the brand and size away.
If I had found that other post I would have nailed the rpm. As it is, the rpm was a guess.
Since you did the search you're one up on me.

Oh I'm so honored to get that great collection of antique props.
Which begs the question...Why ain't Dave running them? They are probably the only props to flex more than his MA (Ducking, running for cover, and only kidding!!)
I had no guess, no clue. The very straight case, and Enya-like housing made me ponder it. Then I saw this pic:

And this one..Now I was sure it was the same engine...
BTW, this was an "Ending Today" auction on Ebay...I just looked at the right pictures at the right time.
Look at Dave's pic and you can see the exhaust butterfly hole thru the muffler strap.
Then WR got me to thinking Dave had mentioned this engine before..that's when I did a search for "Flyboy Dave"+ "Enya" and bingo.
It was all smack talkin' after that.
