BIG old Johnson twin 20’s-30’s

[george-emmanuel]

The serial number indicates it is a 1928, which normally would be a K-40, and since the serial number on the block is the same I’d say it is a 1928 K-40, but like someone said earlier the smooth manifold edges indicate the K-35. Maybe someone replaced the manifolds??? Maybe Johnson was using up old parts?—But the serial number is not early 1928, so I’d guess they used up all the ’27 parts by then and what you have is a K-40 with K-35 manifolds.

Wonder if the serial member indicates it was to be sold
under some store brand name like Jerry’s 550 Waterwitch.
The only difference being a decal and so few ever made
it to the public that what this serial number indicates has
been lost in time.
