[SEL] olds

[Michael Young]

Hi David,

I dont pretend to be an expert on them but as I have 2 Olds engines, I have
tried to find out what I could over the years.  Tell me what your engine is
and the exact details on your plate and I will tell you what I can.  As far
as I know there is no one keeping a serial no. register of Olds engines and
there are no original factory records in captivity.  There are a few Olds
specialists in the States (as in US of) who might care to identify
themselves and they might know something.

If you have a pre Seager Olds Type A engine (i.e. Olds Gas Power Plate -
with  B serial no. prefix.) it can probably be dated within a year or so.
They were made in the 1904/5 - 1910 era.  The early engines - pre 1904 - can
also be very roughly dated but I dont know about the Seager plated engines.

I have a 12Hp type A ~1909 and a gearless 12hp ~1898/9 which has given me a
keen interest in this brand.

Regards,

Michael Young
