"A Nieghbor's celler clean

"A Nieghbor's celler clean-out provided an old small HP [10-20?] Mercury outboard. It turns over and has compression and spark. The I D tags and decals are gone. Under the cover, on the external block wall it says 'Lightning'. Was that a Merc model? What HP were they? Did Merc put the s/numbers any other place on the engine? I would like to know what HP and vintage this is?
Thanks in advance for any help."
 
Can you post a picture?

It could be a 1947-49, 10 horse, KE7 model which was marketed as a "lightning deluxe" - but that is purely a guess at this point...
