Richard,
See if you can find an actual street address for them. I will then see what I can come up with for a map or aerial photos. I grew up in New London.
Also the pic looks like a Lathrop clone or rebadge

Ernie so far I have ads from 1903- 1914 and I'm still looking, If you wanted to buy one of their engines or bilge pumps back then I don't know how they would be found ? so far no address listed ?
-Send for a catalog-
This 1905 ad shows a flywheel hole pattern that I have never seen before ?

Well back then the post office most likely knew where they were.
Part of Pequot Ave was manufacturing.
If you look at Google Earth or any other map of New London Pequot Ave between Trumble Street and Harris Road to the south NOT Harris St to the north used to be almost all manufacturing.
The name Pequot is common in South Eastern CT and comes from the Pequot Indians.
Except for the flywheel they sure do look like Lathrops. I suppose it was more cost effective to remove weight from the flywheel than to add weight for balance purposes. |
