I saw this one for sale on Harry's, listed as an Erd, just the head is similar. I think that's how the water pump strap was set up.

The single in above photo is an Erd,
I have one just like it !

The heads do look similar, but other manufacturers had very similar designed heads.

so far I have traced Erd back to 1905 I have a catalog and those engines were different, Later 1910 etc Erd made heavy duty engs that had more similarities but still can't say the unknown twin above is an ERD ??? Will continue trying to ID this one !!

Possible R.B Price or someone has an Erd catalog 1908--12

Tanks Richard, When I first saw the Erd I thought it might be similar but after I looked at the twin I realized the manifolds were on opposite sides among other differences. The water pump on the twin doesn't line up with the eccentric, I think it may have been set up like the Erd, could be a distinguishing feature.
