Seems like your engine may be a JP2 (18/2) although they generally only developed 18hp at 1000 rpm and needed to be governed to 1200 rpm to develop 22hp,  which doesn't concur with the engine plate markings you describe. With only four numbers after the CS prefix, it suggests a very early model, pre 1933 unless you missed an extra digit.

In the UK the JP2 is worth more due to rarity than the JP3 or 4 ,as many more of the latter models were built in WW2 to power trailer mounted generators. The JP2 is also a more popular choice for canal narrowboats in the UK as larger versions just can't be made to work hard enough. £1500 is a fair price for a working industrial engine.
