Stover DV2
February 28, 2010Stover was one of the larger American industrial engine manufacturers. If my research is correct they were in business from 1895 to 1942.

Perhaps a reader [...]

All we usually need to supply a quotation is an image along with L x W dimensions, thickness, and quantity required. He liked the quotation [...]
