I cannot locate any information about where and who made this old inboard. My son-in-law gave it to me after finding it laying in a field here in the Pacific Northwest. The piston measures about the same as a Model T. I have the engine turning and valves are free. No tags or serial number can be found. Just "Liberty Kid" cast in raised letters on the cylinder. Any information would be a great help. |

It is manufactured from the very best materials that money can buy and assembled by specialists. It is designed for small craft where power, simplicity and economy of operation are de- sired.
