I've never seen it before either, but I'm the current bidder

Actually, after a quick search, it's a Excelsior (or half of one) from the Cologne Excelsior Factory in Germany.

Well there you go Shane

Good luck I hope you win

Thanks Kevan, but I'm doubtful I'll win it. I'm not prepared to go much higher than the opening bid due to the scarcity of parts for one of these here in oz. I wouldn't mind betting it will go back to Europe to a collector who has a few parts machines to play with.
