Could you tell me about Anton Bohaboy? I never heard of him. Were they casting kits or factory made? Thanks.
Here is some information I pulled from the internet,
Anton Bohaboy (1888-1963) born in the Czech Republic (Bohemia) was a brilliant machinist. His most prolific work was done in the 40's and 50's. He had a small machine shop in Rahway, NJ. He is credited with supplying Boucher with their later single and double Cyl. Marine plants and Boilers. He made full models, Boilers, Engines and sold Castings, he worked mostly alone with his own designs & castings.
He worked out of a cramped garage & I met a fellow at cabin fever....who as a boy used to go over to Mr. Bohaboys garage & hang out for 2 summers, had some very fascinating stories.
