Hi, Folks.
Can anybody shed any light on wott this jigger might be? I won't post photos due to copyright issues but here are the links to the photos:

To me, the tracks and controls look rather Fowler/Marshall-ish but I can't remember ever seeing either of them with that style 'tin-work'. I might be getting 'blinder' than I thought but I can't see any badges either. (Are the manufacturers THAT proud of their handiwork? LOL.)
A curious mind would like to know.

Re: WOTTIZZITT?????????????????
As flickr and photobucket have moved to some kind of new format totally unfriendly to older browsers or maybe just me, I have to resolve anything from there manually.
One can usually right click over an image and list the properties or links to address or image. Being a new format these services may have done something to stop that ... I really wouldn't know I don't get too far on my old machine, but it doesn't help that I'm just as "annoyed" wth "stuff" as the guy who penned Bertram

I've got no idea what that might mean. A bit of photoshoping might reveal a bit more

Well, the badge on the front says
FOWLER
and the shape of the badge is Fowler's trade mark, but I suppose it could have been put on something else [doubt it, though].
I've seen that type of machine somewhere............................................... on a beach dragging boats around ?????????
Why else do you go to the beach??

Hi.
It a Fowler FD3 circa 1946 / 1949. They were powered by a development of the 3cyl Fowler /Freeman - Sanders engine used in pre-war models.
There ws also the four cyl. FD4 which had the same styling but a longer bonnet to accomodate the engine and one extra bottom roller.
