Great shot of the Weonit thank you.
As to the Buffum reference thank you also-how many names have HH in them? Completely possible Buffum owned this boat.
I did find a valve in the wreck that I took home. After examining it I saw that a company in Ohio made it so I emailed them pictures to help me date the wreck.
Here is their reply:
It’s a compression Grease cup (Figure 869 or 870). Think it’s the 869. I see the word “MECCA” on it which was the 869
We still had them in the catalogs in the 1950’s (see attached) But they aren’t in the 60s era catalogs
The assembly drawings we still have are dated 1902~1909 not sure if we made them prior to that but possibly. So best guess is we made them from around 1900 til the early 1950s
Thank You,
