Very nice restoration !

The video says 1905 Roberts ?

E.W.Roberts established his company in 1906
in Clyde,Ohio,He moved to a bigger and better
factory in 1909 located in Sandusky Ohio.

The engine in video has Sandusky address making the engine not older than 1909, without detailed photos it seems that a much closer manufacturing date would be late 1909 or 1910.

Possible to post some detailed photos ? or click on my name at left and email to me I'll post them here ?

Good Stuff, appreciate the video

great info! we are still working out the details on this engine as far as where it came from and when. we are better at making things go "pop pop" than we are at all the rest of the details:-) ill relay this info to Bob, every factual bit is much appreciated! thx!

we are in the middle of a move, i just crated it day before yesterday and moved it to our new place.. it could be a few days before i have a chance to snap some more pics. will post back to this thread soon as i have them.

Very nice engine, the one I restored a few years back looks very similar and was a 1910. It belongs to a mullins launch we also have.
