Thanks for Ernies help posting, your engine is real nice and seems to have the original paint--
a unique color ?
When looking into Wonder engs a few weeks back I came across these photos from the ABM ( Antique Boat Museum ) in Clayton N.Y. that I had taken in 2002. The only file photos I have of this Mfgr.
This ABM engine that appears to be in excellent original condition, has the oiling instructions on the tag that would date it later than your eng with the oilers !
I find Frazer Bros mfg in a 1913 marine mfgrs list also have reference to them in 1912.
This is a 1914 ad

I noticed Johns engine has a gear box attatched to it. My single cylinder F A does not have one. Were the singles equiped with gearboxes? This litle single is a real sweet running engine. I would like to find all the neccessary hardware to install it in a boat and run it. Right now I just have the engine. Thanx for any information you can provide me with. |
