This 1920s Johnson windup is one of the first toy outboard motors and is another great windup outboard motor from the 1920s. These motor...s were made by a company called Benoliels, Inc., from Chicago, Illinois. The Decal on the motor claims that it was made under an exclusive contract with Johnson Motors Company. The motor says "Johnson Sea-Horse" on the back and the decal looks just like the one on a real motor. These were sold with a wooden boat called the Sea Puppy. Came in a great box for it's time. Please use photos to judge condition as they are considered to be part of the item description.
