My first thought is if the museum you got it from might have any record of it or what it might be.
You might check out a few Keith Appleton YouTube videos. He mostly does model steam engine rebuilds/restorations, but all the concepts are the same. There are many steam engine forums that might prove as valuable resources to ID the engine and/or source parts.
Looking at these videos, it sure looks to be a Stanley Steamer engine.
If so, it might be worth quite a price to someone either properly restored (car collectors are so nit-picky about ORIGINAL parts) or as parts for someone restoring a car.
