Re: Very early Champion

[skeg]

What you have is a first year Champion made by Scott-Atwater Manufacturing in Minneapolis, MN. for Earl Dumonte and his partners who marketed Champion. Year of manufacture would be 1935. The serial number should be stamped on the transom mount between the clamp levers. There are also two bolts that hold on the tiller arm and if removed you should also find the serial number there as well. Good example that appears complete! Earlier Champions (pre 1935) are different and were made by Sigmund Conrad of St.Paul MN. I would classify yours as somewhat rare, especially with all of the parts in tact.
Hope this helps.
