He did say has enough of Grandad's flat head parts to put a full B back together. I asked him to try and find any serial numbers for this project.
As of December last year he's on BRF as: mike v1.
He sent me photo's of the engine stamps - attached as photos.

Karen I didn't see your edit. I will add those 2 serial numbers to the list. Thanks!
My brother David and I just bought a ton of Looper parts. By the end of October we should be able to add 11 Looper S/N to the list that is being collected.

David and I just finished a 3,500 mile road trip and along the way we picked up some Looper stuff. We also obtained the very, very rare B Looper adaptor that allowed the power head to be installed on a D tower that was specially made by Mercury for Jerry Waldman. We believe that no more then 7 were made in total, ones is brand new never used and the other one we have is installed on a B Waldman engine we acquired. In this collection of parts we also obtained the last Looper block that was made by Quincy in 1976 that was in production, it is FC-100.
1. FC-100 Last produced Looper at Quincy Welding. In production in 1976 at time of plant closing
2. FA-147 Block
3. FB-75 Block
4. FB-216 New block partially machined

Alan how was the weather in North Woods of Wisconsin.
Well during the trip we had great weather. Nights were 35 degrees up north and days in the low 60's. Took the north route into Michigan to attend Mark Sutters AOMCI meet. Beautiful drive with all the color in the forests.

Karen, congratulations on your new loopers. It is SO WEIRD how someone was just asking about how many of the #1 engines were known and here you come the NEXT day with FB-1! Can't wait to see the pictures.
This puts the total of known #1 engines at three. FA-1, FB-1, and the first 6 cylinder looper built.
