I bought that same engine about two weeks ago. Paid more than that for it of course. The one I bought looks as though it has never been installled and the only things missing is the buzz coil and the crank handle. Plan to run it soon. I'll try get a digital picture of it to post later.

Richard, the 1916 ad you sent me list it for $175.00, a big jump to $250.00 in two years. I wonder how long they made them?

I have a correction to make. I was informed my engine is a Universal Fisherman. I didn't think of that when I posted earlier. Sorry about the error.

Hard to miss the Universal Fisherman with the fish outline cast in the top of the head.

The best history on the fisherman i've seen so far was posted Nov 4 2004 by Keith.

"I recently came across a web site for Domestic Flywheel engines, which were mfg. in Shippensburg PA. They are one of the more common sideshaft engines. What I found interesting was a history of the compamy. The article stated that the Domestic Engine Company manufactured the Fisherman Marine engine for the Loane-Hiltz Engineering Co.of Baltimore MD, and that Loane-Hiltz was a sales office. For any one interested in the site it is www.domesticengine.com. I am attaching the comments of Don Kirkpatrick an known authority on Domestic engines. Don has the records from the Domestic Company".


"Loane-Hiltz Engineering Co. of Baltimore was a dealer in Domestic engines - Domestic SN 692, a 1 1/2hp, 4in bore x 6in stroke ignitor engine, sold by them and bearing their tag, is on display in the Smithsonian Museum of Science and Technology (or at least was when I was last there, about 20 years ago). Loane-Hiltz sold a few other Domestic engines besides the Smithsonian-exhibited one, but their major relationship with Domestic soon became the "Fisherman" 4-stroke marine engine.

Some time in late 1906 or early 1907, Domestic designed and started manufacturing the Fisherman engine, solely for Loane-Hiltz Engineering Co, which handled sales. Engines were often "drop-shipped" direct to buyers from the Domestic plant in Shippensburg, although the agent for the sale was shown in the engine record book as Loane. Some engines I recall were shipped to Alaska, Nova Scotia, various Caribbean ports, and many US ports on the Gulf, West, and East coasts.

There were other named partners, with Loane (besides Hiltz), over the years, as I recall. When the company ended in the 1970's, I believe it was just Loane family interests in ownership. But don't take that as gospel - I have notes on this but not at hand.

Hope this helps.

Don Kirkpatrick, 4 Nov 2004"
