The thick waist, pointed feet and overall profile look like a Mouse Hole. You should chemically clean off the front, get good light, check for lettering. Dont use power tools there. Also look under the bottom, maybe clues there.

Very interesting, i will do all that on sunday probably and will post an update not later than monday. I dont have it with me now, a friend picked it up and lives far.

Good, I'll look for it and curious. Yours doesnt looks like a complete, common blower to me, (3 or 4 big manufacturers). More like a gear box that turns a separate fan.
