This Gaar Scott is from about 1910 to 1912 and is a twin cylinder steamer of somewhere between 40 and 75 hp.
Some history on the Gaar Scott Company:
"Gaar-Scott and Company was formed when a gentleman by the name of Scott became a partner in the A. Gaar Company which had previously purchased the Spring Foundry of Richmond, Indiana. The company built a line of steam engines, threshing machines and saw mills. The company used as a trademark an image of a tiger astride two hemispheres and the engine line became known as the “Tiger Line” as a consequence. Gaar-Scott built simple and compound steam engines in sizes from 10 to 40 horsepower.
Gaar-Scott along with the Advance Thresher Company, Northwest Thresher Company and the American Able Company of Toronto was purchased by the M. Rumely Company in 1912. Rumely then reorganized itself as the Advance Rumely Company. Rumely rationalized its product line and Gaar-Scott faded into history. Advance Rumely fell on hard times during the 1930s and was purchased by the Allis-Chalmers company in 1931."
