Jack Craib's Caille Outboard Motor Information Pages

Badge Motors
Badge motors are motors made by Caille
for other companies.

 

Here is a list of links to the pages about the motors made by Caille
but sold under these names by other companies
:

Listed below is a little information on each one and, when needed, the link to another page or two.

Glideaway

1914, Serial Number 811

decal

Glideaways were made for the Mullins company by Caille. As far as I know this is the only year they did...but I may be mistaken. This example has incorrect paint on it. I am guessing it is NOT right as I have never seen a RED Caille rowboat motor.

The decal on the tank is original. Note the hole in the skeg - the only year Caille made a skeg like this was 1914.

The folding rudder is a Caille feature that other rowboat motors did not have.

Note the decal actually says "MANUFACTURED FOR AND SOLD BY..."



Motorgo Junior
and
Motorgo Senior
Index

 

 

Go to the Motorgo Index for these motors.

From 1931 Catalog:

" During the past few years Motorgo Outboards have established a reputation for durability and dependability. ... Motorgo Junior 6-H.P. An excellent motor for outing, hunting and fishing.

Weighs only 55 lbs."


1926 Neptune Index

Jack said he had no idea that in later years the Neptune Twin was a badge motor for Montgomery Ward until he got #44995 in its crate which had the company info on it.

Look at the decal, too. Notice that under the Neptune is the Caille decal!


Pennant Index

This badge motor is another example where the Caille decals had been applied first, and then the Pennant decals put on over them for some reason.

The wonderful thing is that as the decals aged the Caille artwork showed through!
This is the sort of inarguable documentation establishing connections that antiquarians thrive on.

The Caille Scout is essentially a Pennant without the 5 speed gear.
It was, I believe, sold only in 1926.

Sweet - #15017

The Sweet Rowboat Motor
Sweet Mfg. Co. Detroit, U.S.A.

The Sweet was a badge motor first made by Waterman and later by Caille.
