The engine building career of the Savage factories is one that has been blurred by time. While it is known that early offerings included such tradenames as Dan Patch and Dazzle Patch engines, no photographs of these styles have thus far been located. This 1920s offering of the Casey Jones engine typifies the company’s involvement in the engine business – their specialty was in railraod handcar engines. While the company noted that the Casey Jones was built under the Kim Rosholt patent of 1909, a check of the Patent Office Gazette reveals that this patent did not cover the major part of the engine, but extended only to a crankshft seal developed by Rosholt. Built in 2 1/2 and 4 horsepower sizes, the Casey jones engines graced many a track M.W. Savage Company also appears as a builder of the Northhome engine, but this information cannont presently be verified.
