I was wondering if this was related to Bathe, had I known it was, I probably would have bid!  :D  I have a twin cylinder Bathe, can’t remember the size off hand... I may have an advertisement for you...  ;)

It was made by Bathe Manufacturing
Greville and Dorothy Bathe were both engineers and collectors. They designed and mfg'd steam engines.
I may have owned that one at one point as I recall having one just like it. They are quite rare and were made in 2 sizes with 1/2" & 5/8" bores.

This is a recent Ebay purchase, a model boat engine and boiler.  I thought it was similar to the Stuart ST engine and boiler, but upon its arrival I realized this unit is much larger and the boiler is of much heavier construction.  The boiler holds 8 oz. of water at half capacity.  The burner ran for 30 minutes on on fueling, and used only about three ounces of water during that time.  I don't know anything about the Model Ship & Engine Works Company, and haven't really found any information on the internet.  And additional information about this company or model would be appreciated!
