There’s a Model 26HZ on eBay that looks similar but it doesn’t say what it’s for. Pre-war car possibly.

Primer/flood button on the float bowl, that could put it in the bike/industrial engine category.

Cars in the bronze carb era (roughly before 1930) had ticklers as well.

Bronze carbs were sometimes fitted much later to boat engines e.g. Stuart Turners
(put a mazak carb in salt water spray to find out why!)

If the choke size (diameter of where the throttle butterfly is) is measured in mm it will give a better idea what size engine it was suitable for .

Guess the carb on my Stuart marine lighting set is Bronze?
