This is a very hard to find original Waters 1 1/4 inch governor.  These were commonly used on steam engines as well as a few gas engines.  It was made by the Waters Governor Company in Boston, Mass.  and is in excellent used condition with no cracks, breaks, or repairs of any kind.  The drive shaft with the drive pulley on it is spring loaded and has a pin to hold it in a positive position.  The hole for the pin is worn a bit and the pin doesn't stay in tightly without a holder but this could easily be remedied with a better, more square hole to collar that holds it in the positive position.   It has little noticeable wear on the gears or on the shaft.  Everything seems to move as it should.  It stands about 24 inches tall overall.  The hole pattern on the flanges is 2 5/8 inches square and the hole on each side are 1 1/4 inches in diameter.  I would say that with just a little attention it would be ready to be used on an engine or put on the shelf for a spare.  These original Waters governors are extremely tough to find in the wild or even at swap meets and they usually need a complete rebuild.  This one only needs some minor attention and it should be ready to go.   If you've been looking for one to complete a project, restoration,  or for a scale model don't miss your chance on this one.  The pictures tell the story.  You'll like it.   Good Luck.
