How do you indentify an engine?

[Borch1]

Greetings,
I have a hand me down motor that I'd like to find information about. From talking with the past owner , we think it is a Firestone motor made 5 hp from the early 40's. There are no decals left and I'd like to repaint and reapply new decals. The engine runs great, not very fast, like a gas powered trolling motor. Any help would b great.

This is an Other Outboards question. Let's go there.

Several people made Firestone motors. Mostly Scott Atwater. Need something to go by, a model number would be best. At least a picture to narrow it down to a mfr.
