It sure looks like a Zenith to me, but, not sure which model. It may even be one of the double venturi one, if so, your a lucky guy.

That appears to be a later Zenith, with the steel fittings. Earlier ones had many brass fittings, well into 1929. The idle mixture screw looks to be a repro also.
If your '28 is very early, it should have the double venturi ; the choke leg should not have the bottom piece with hole on the early carbs. This was to attach a wire to aid hand crank starting.
