T Purcell and Co Marine Engine Photo

[fargotruck]

G'day
        While cleaning up I came across this photo that I picked up from a swap meet some where.  The engine plate states it is a 'MEA' Type FE1. The engine number is 34591.

Cheers Hugh

A very interesting photo. Purcell engines and photos are hard to find.

Purcell took over from Caldwell-Vale, who were building engines as well as the 4 wheel drive trucks. I am not at home, so don't have the date.

The Mea plate is the brand of the magneto to which it is attached.
