Not a clue Kevin but it is for sure a salt water engine since it comes from Glouster, MA.

Kevin,
There was a company that made engines in Saugus, MA. I don't remember the name. They were also sold as Atlantic from Merrimack, MA or maybe NH.
The timer, water pump and carb mount/crankcase cover are what has me thinking of this possibility.
Clark Labbe had the one from Saugus and I have no idea where the Atlantic went after I owned it. Sorry no I don't have pics.
If you find it's an Atlantic I have a tag as I had a couple made for the one I had.
Bill Wolfe from up in Maine may have one as well as I think that is who I borrowed the tag from to use as a pattern for the ones I had made.
Hope this helps
Ernie

I have an Amesbury Mass. Atlantic. The Cady and Amesbury Atlantics appear to be one and the same engine, just a different tag. With the exception of the timer and pump arrangements, this engine does not have much in common with my Atlantic or the Atlantics illustrated in the Atlantic catalog. The removable plug in the top is common to the Hartford group of engines which includes the Casco. The cylinder casting also has some hints of the Hartford/Casco engines. I have seen that particular timer and timer handle in an ad for an engine that was not related to either the Atlantic/Cady - Hartford/Casco groups. All in all, this doesn't fit either Atlantic or Hartford types that I am aware of. That said, it is possible that Atlantic/Cady ordered engines from different manufacturers at different times or to fill out a product line as many others did (Sears, Fifield brothers, etc.).

If you look at the new pictures that have been posted you will see the classic expansion cracks caused by the salt water corrosion build up around the exhaust outlet. The entire bottom section of the coolant volume surrounding the cylinder is probably filled with the rock hard deposit caused by the sodium ion in the salt water reacting with the ferrous ion in the cast iron. Not a good sign but, with a great deal of work, probably fixable.

OOPs - that should have been the ferrous ion reacts with the chloride ion.
