Probably from the tiny hole in the end of the barrel. I'll restore it if Stever agrees to engrave it when done. Or, one could do a "rat rod" out of it, like some hot rodders do with barn-find 30's Fords. The blurb doesn't say if it was found clutched in the hands of a skeleton embracing a bear skeleton.

Speaking of restoration projects on 22HP's.. ran across this. Can't say I approve of his Duracoat color scheme (looks a bit too Fireball'ish ), but he did bring it back.
