I have just turned up a different engine that I hope someone can help me identify. There is no name anywhere, nor was there a spot for one. (no drive screw holes etc.) The only markings on the whole engine are the number 11 which is stamped on everything that was lapped/fitted. It is extremely robust for the size. It has a huge rod bearing on the crank and bronze bushings throughout. It also has a full brass water jacket from crankcase to head. Also, it has a crankpin oiler like a lathrop, and all of the lubricators are local from New England. Any ideas?

You should put an "Ernie" tag on them when they get free. |

The one I have isn't copper jacketed.
Do a search for Baldwin using the search tool at the top of the page. |

Thanks Andrew
hehehehe Bill
I am quite sure the copper actually brass jacket is a repair. It is really a good runner though
It is in the Big Yellow and Big Red book too. Without the replacement jacket |

I think these were taken when Ernie owned it. I had them in my files. There may still be other photos of it already on the board.

By the way the brass jacket is a repair. I am quite sure that the cylinder and upper crankcase were turned in a lathe and the brass sleeve was pressed on. |

I keep looking at this engine and again thinking out loud !
This is a 1905 hard to find rare Baldwin ad, It shows a spoked flywheel and the cyl head looks thin in height like an early hot head.
This is one of the few Baldwin engines I've seen , it was posted on here several yrs ago and it looks like the above ad. It shows detail of a rectangular casting on the front and aft of the Cylinder which would seem to preclude turning of the cylinder on a lathe ?
This is from 1905 Lamb Boat & Engine Co., they had a cast cylinder that was lathe turned and a brass sleeve pressed on. also the photo of the engine seems to have a very similar shaped cyl head-- I have searched for a photo of a single about 1906-09 but none found so far ???

I noticed that the paint code for lamb boat engines according to www.geocities.com/engdecal/paint.html is a red that is very similar to the engine in the photo. |

Richard,
That Baldwin ad you posted is the first I have seen. Thanks!
The black and red single in the photos is mine and has no nameplate or name on it. Ernie had identified it as a Baldwin. I will post a couple larger photos. It appears to have been make an break ignition "converted" to jump spark at some point. I picked it up in North Carolina.

Thanks for the better photos I've not seen another engine like it !
I have only ever seen 3 Baldwin ads, the 1905 above and two in 1906 just alike but all using the one picture ?
1906 Baldwin
This is high resolution of just the engine, if you transfer it and zoom in you can see writing on the crankcase inspection plate ?
I don't see the rectangular casting on the front of cylinder with 6 bolt plate ??
