Posting these engine photo's for Peter McCumber. He would like a little help with the Identify of this marine engine. I'm fairly sure I have seen this style engine on the forum before but I just can't remember what brand it is. Thinking maybe a small Canoe type engine, Caille Bantom maybe?

Thanks for the posting help! It has a Lunkenheimer 1/2 mixer. Everything else is rather generic. The freeze plugs have a patent date of 1913. Thank for any help!

Found this Caille literature on the Bantam engine.

Peter, I found some more pic's of a Caille Bantam engine I think like yours but this one has a magneto rather then the timer lever.

That very much seems to be it! The "HEN" model. Super knowledge. Thanks for sharing!

Well Peter I guess your engine must be a Caille Bantam because no one has disputed it so far. I know nothing about the Caille Bantams but that's what your engine looks like. I was hoping a few Bantam owners would chime in or someone who at least has knowledge about them. |
