The "original" engine installed in my 29 CC pickup was thought by the former owner to be a 50s replacement sold by Sears. If you're sure of your engine source this sort of confirms it.

My sears engine has no number - and from the looks of the number pad - never had one. (I.e. not milled off but rather as found cast surface.)

I do remember as a kid seeing the (then) Sears "Big" book and finding the page of Model A replacement parts. Quite a thing when you think of it - being able to buy parts from Sears for a car that was then 30 years old?

It would be like buying parts for a VW Superbeetle today.
