That's a real piece of old Marine Engine history, these engs are from the late 1890's, designed and built by one of the true marine engine inventors,designers and business pioneers "Carl Riotte"
Next week i will post one of his original ads from 1898 for this engine.
I also have one of these engs, I'll look to see if it has a serial number and post photos !

Thank you Richard for the information. It will probably be the oldest engine in my museum.
