Thanks, @PerryS and @Buccaneer.  Unfortunately the data plate is wiped clean except the stamped “1917”.

The ignition is definitely magneto.  I was able to get healthy spark from one HT lead last night.  There are no charging coils and the mounting holes for them aren’t even drilled or tapped.  I intend to swap the condensers side to side and try to get spark off the other coil.

When you say it’s a conversion, what appears to have been added or removed?  Seems dumb to remove a powered ignition system from something that you’re going to run electric start on and seems difficult to add electric start to an engine that didn’t have it originally.
