Here is a set of early cylinder tin. I think this might be before 1949? maybe like 1947? Is that right? they are different from each other. Are they both correct? Thanks! Tim

any idea what this belongs to? Pulley tin but it does not look like Volkswagen? Maybe Porsche?

Tim,
The pulley tin looks like late VW with an ERG valve
