Stuart S50 missing logo
« on: 16 hours ago »
I have what I feel is certainly a genuine Stuart S50 but there isn't a logo in the normal place, the space is there but no logo. was there any period when they didn't add the logo?

I'm unsure if there was some specific period for this, or possibly a sub-contract for some job-lot type work, but I have also seen Stuart Beam Engines that are missing the Stuart logo on the base, so it isn't just your engine. Perhaps it is just a simple case of the foundrymen forgetting to emboss the sand mold with the logo before casting?

The Stuart logo isn't particular well-done on the S50 so I would imagine the builder filed or milled it off.  Notice the cast-in bolt heads are gone as well, replaced with tapped holes and threaded lugs.  I did the same thing on my S50, but kept the logo.

Looks to me like the logo oval has casting texture and isn't smooth as would be left by a mill cutter.

Perhaps it is the paint that has the lumpy texture that I'm seeing although I think a see where the paint is chipped away, and the casting texture seems to show there as well?!?!
