Saw this old thing on fb market place for $75 and had to have it. Cleaned the gas tank mixed up some 16:1 gas pulled the rope twice and she runs great. But I can't find any information on it. I can find some very similar but none the same. Anyone know anything about it?

Not sure How to post pictures on here but as soon as I figure it out I will!

I know nothing about it, but it's pretty cool that you got it running!

Seems no one knows much about it. They were manufactured 1934-5, It is 120vdc. Some of the similar ones went in the tail of bomber planes as battery chargers while the planes weren't in use, some went in tanks for axillary heaters, some where used to simply power lights. I guess with these only being produced that one year there can't be but so much info on them.
