If you have access to," American Gasoline Engines
Since 1872" by C H Wendel there is quite a bit of info on the engines.Many engine collectors own
a copy of this book as it is the Holy Grail to most collectors of flywheel engines.The book published
in 1983 and sold for around 35.00 ofter brings 150-200 dollars on E-Bay.The book states the company was formed in 1902 and located in Lorain ,Ohio.They built Quality engines from 4hp
up to 50 hp.Most were Built in the tank or screen
cooled design.(No water hopper).Most were single cylinder honizontal models.They do show One horizontal twin opposed and one small vertical.
Most of the horizontals are of the" sideshaft"
design".This was a gear driven cam shaft lieing parallel to the cylinder.This shaft also often drove a vertical governor,fuel pump and at times
the water cooling pump.
We see very few on the west coast and doubt they
are common anywhere.Of coarse condition is everything.A rare incomplete engine can be a challenge,finding or building parts.However a complete running one might cause a seasoned
collector to offer a sizable sum or kidney for
one LOL !Seriously they are a very desirable engine.Hope this helped ,Good Luck!

Just saw on ebay, a name "spec" plate for a Brown and Cochran. "The Brown". The item # is 3870991366, in case anyone is interested. Shows a pat date of 1895 and 1897. Hope this will be of some interest to someone.
