Re: Magneto identification
Is this not what might be termed "a spark generator"? I see a gear at the rear but no points so it looks just like a revolving coil inside a magnetic field. The connection suggests the same. It would need an "interruptor" to break the generated circuit to make a spark. Just a thought...

Re: Magneto identification
i'll see if i can take a better pic of the logo, it is quite small. I think your right Eric as in it looks like a coil in a magnetic field but, you lost me a bit after that, not that technically minded.
Thanks for the input.

Re: Magneto identification
I think Eric is on the right lines. However, my guess is that it may be be a dynamo from a Stromberg Carlson (of Chicago) wall mounted telephone. The Home Telephone Company (hence the HTC) were so impressed that they bought out Stromberg Carlson and moved production to Rochester. A picture of the drive end may confirm.
Just a bit more poking and now I'm not so sure. Maybe from a WWI field telephone?

Re: Magneto identification
Looks like a low tension magneto from an Amanco engine to me, this smaller magneto was in use from 1922.

Re: Magneto identification
Blue Cat,
It could well be a late Amanco Hired Man or similar magneto. Good thinking.

Re: Magneto identification
If it is an Amanco LT magneto then they were built in-house at the Associated factory in Waterloo, Iowa, USA. No idea what the HTC means, could be a casting identification mark ? The magneto itself was known as a type 25, or R25.

Re: Magneto identification
This is a photo from 'Smokstack' a US stationary engine website community. Yours looks like the one on the far left.
The caption reads:
'These are the magnetos used on Associated's, 2 bolt JD style, alloy 4 bolt, bronze 4 bolt flat sides and an earlier bronze 4 bolt with rounded edges.'
Yours also looks to have the end of the word Associated visible on the bottom.
