I have a Little Tiger. Built in Detroit in 1909 by Northwestern Machine Co. 2 cylinder, 2cycle, copper jackets, aluminum crankcase, 2 1/2hp. 40 pounds total including the flywheel. Smallest inboard I have ever seen. It is beautiful. The only information I have found about it is an ad in a 1909 publication. Does anybody out there know of anyone else who has one of these or know anything at all about them?? I have photos but don't know how to post them here. Contact me at

Thanks

January 1909 Article
The only ads I have ever found were in 1909 and of two styles.
A few yrs ago a family that owned a second generation small machine shop sent me photos of this engine, they owned it many yrs but could never I.D. its Maker and Model ! They were Thrilled !
