History by Marshall Trover:
The ER was made in Seattle, Washington on 4th and Lander. Mill and Mine Supply had a foundry and machine shop there and produced logging and mining supplies plus marketed others tools in a large catalog. The ER was a model E Titan revised with better cylinders and a cast gas and oil tank instead of a round steel tank. It was two simultaneous firing apposed cylinders and used the same internals as some Neptune outboards with a manual clutch. The R stands for "Revised". It was made around 1947 and rated at 10 hp.
The ER became the Bluesteak with no mechanical changes but a color change from gray to blue. With the introduction of the automatic clutch it became the Bluestreatk Automatic and was a very popular and successful two man saw in the late 1940's. Lots of pictures on Acres Collector's Corner. As a general rule, condition and completeness are critical elements when determining value, often more so than rarity.
