A very rare Magnet engine in Gaddye's collection. These were originally built at Guelph, Ontario beginning about 1900. The plant burned out in 1904, with production resuming at Hamilton, Ontario in 1905 and continuing until 1925.

Harold Gaddye himself, standing beside his 50 HP two-cylinder opposed Goold, Shapley & Muir engine. These engines are extremely rare, and even the best photograph doesn't do justice to the engine builder's art.

During the Midwest Old Threshers Reunion at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa,
Mr. Harold Gaddye, RR 2, Binbrook, Ontario L04 1C0 stopped by the
Steam gas both with some photos of a few nice engines in his large
collection.

The controversy continues to rage whether Gilson Mfg. Co. ever
built any engines at their Guelph, Ontario plant, or whether they
were all built at Port Washington, Wisconsin.
