Hi happy cat,

I have the 7.5HP twin cylinder version of your motor. I think mine is a 1948 and I’m pretty sure it was just dull aluminum with very minimal decals. They were very plain looking motors.

Art has restored a fair number of the Scott/Firestones of this vintage and will be able to help you.

Great little motors; they run surprisingly well and I love the sound!
