Help identifying magnetos


Blunderbuss

Recommended Posts

A two spark six cylinder Splitdorf is certainly an unusual magneto to come across. The S type Splitdorfs usually have a four digit application number stamped onto the brass tag on the side. Sometimes the magnetos were made for a specific application, other times they were a multi-fit item. I haven't got the application listing that covers the SS types, - but if you can find someone that has a Splitdorf or Edison-Splitdorf application list, it could be one way of finding out.

I bet it is off of an early Fire Truck. A lot of those had Dual ignition and were run with a mag. Magneto's were more reliable than points ignition in the early years. Dandy Dave!
