       Big Green Generator ID

       Recently got to wondering about the maker of this generator
       which has no markings. It looks similar to one Gil brought up
       quite sometime ago that initially was thought to have a Stuart
       connection but later discounted. Hopefully someone will be able
       to identify it - thanks.

       That is a very nice generator and should make plenty of
       electricity.
       It is identical to mine except that yours has a 3 arm bearing
       carrier frame on both ends where mine has 3 on one end and 2 on
       the other end which was more typical of these.
       I am not certain how Stuart was discounted unless you go by the
       lack of listing in Stuart's steam engine catalogs. Stuart made
       many products outside of the steam engine arena. It may just be
       listed in one of there other catalogs. For example, pictured
       below is a Stuart generator well maked with the unmistakable
       Stuart logo in brass. The gentleman who told me it was a Stuart
       product had extensive knowledge as he had been collecting and
       building engines since the for over 60 years which places his
       early collecting beginning back in the 1940's (when I met him in
       2003).
       Larry, I still believe it has Stuart heritage and... it is a
       nice rare piece that functions well.
       Below are pictures of yet another Stuart generator (this one
       marked) that you will not find in any of their steam catalogs.

       This was originally mounted on a much larger generator as an
       exciter dynamo.
