Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

So is this engine marked JEMCO in any way?

Or is it just marked:

PHOENIX ARIZONA
SOLAR ENGINES

?

The only fliers I've seen from JEMCO, just offered some hobby tools and an assortment of Wilesco steam engines and accessories, and also a couple of the little L S Loc engines.

The only other reference I've seen to JEMCO is the small print on the back of some Solar #1 manuals, where its found as:

SOLAR ENGINES   (in large bold print)
A DIVISION OF JEMCO IMPORTERS, INC.

If you have other references available, I'd certainly love to see or hear about them!

I do suppose it fair to reference this era of SOLAR ENGINES as the JEMCO Solar #1, in the same way that SOLAR ENGINES is now a division of PM RESEARCH, and we often refer to the engines sold under their banner as the PMR Solar #1. However, in my mind it seems a little awkward, as in calling a 1955 Chevy Bel-Air a GMC Bel-Air just because Chevrolet was a division of GMC.
