According to Steve Pargeter and Dick Punchard's article in the September/October Restorer, you have a Johnson Model JFA.I'll quote parts of the first two paragraphs

"The Johnson Model JFA carburetor was made by the Marvel-Schebler Division of Borg-Warner, Flint, Michigan...

"...This carburetor was unmarked except for patent number 1,536,043 that was issued to Earl A. Bessom of the Wheeler-Schebler Carburetor Company in April 1925...

"...This carburetor was sold by Marvel-Schebler and several other large retailers under their own brand names.We know Sears sold the unit as an Allstate Model 2405 for the Model A and Model B."

The article goes on in much more detail, with pictures.I can scan the 4 pages and e-mail them to you if you wish.


Good luck,

Pat Patterson
