"I am sending a picture of an outboard motor which I don't know anything from it only it has one cylinder and it doesn't swivel around him but it is fixed so it had a rudder in front of the propeller. The only marking is on a tap "DALLAS DETROIT" and nothing else.The fuel deposit is missing in the photo because it was not mounted.
I would very grateful if anybody could give me any information about this motor.
With my best regards.

The motor must be a Caille. Caille's ( pronounced "CAIL") was made in Detroit. Mich.

I have copies of Caille catalogs from 1915 to 1925 and none of them show a motor with the Magneto on the cylinder.

I do have a Wisconsin catalog copy showing the Magneto on the cylinder. So I can not tell you the year or model.
