Can someone identify the builder of this little 2 cylinder engine I recently purchased?
Thanks!

Looks like a Dispro D2 to me
(Or is it E2...) |

In my opinion I the engine is a Waterman or a close relative. A dispro D2 does not have this type of timer. From what I can see the timer looks like a Meadvile. The D2 had a fractionally larger bore than the Waterman. I don't believe that Dispro ever made an E2. |

I went into the shed, and yes this little Arrow has an aluminum crank case and copper jackets.
These were available in 1920 and I wonder if they were also built in 1919. I can't find much about Arrow after 1921.
Attached is a 1920 Arrow ad.

I want to share with you an article from the Power Boating Magazine that tells us more about Mr. Waterman.
