Stu,

What was the cylinder spacing? 120 degrees or 45? Was this an intake-
over-exhaust, flathead, or OHV?

The 3-cyl Anzanis would have been 45-45-45 "W" config. with intake-
over-exhaust valving. They would be from the Bleriot era 1910-1915. If
it is a one-off it may also date to the same era. I'd ping the boys at
Old Rhinebeck and see if they know what it is.
