        No. Looks like a Scott Atwater built Firestone, 3.6hp, late 1940s.

          Agreed, a 1946 Firestone model 462, but 3.5hp

            Thanks for your expert help Chine,Frank. I’m going to find it a new home and concentrate on other projects.
            Would you have an opinion on desirability and value

              Those early Scot-Atwaters were some of the best trolling motors ever made. It will putt-putt slow idle all day long. On the bad side, the ’46 had that Champion lower unit that wore out prop shaft bearings.

              Value? Not much. There are lots of them around.
