It's probably from an early Cadillac. For 1912, Cadillac cars used a carburetor "made by Cadillac to C.F. Johnsen patents". (Google "1912 Cadillac" ) I can't make out the carb in the engine pictures, but it could be like yours. There is more info that I didn't check, too. My granddad owned a 1912 Cadillac, and I have a very old brass carb that I thought came off of it, but it is very different than the one you have. It may have come from a 1929 Cadillac that he had later, or who knows what. At some point, Cadillac was bought by General Motors, and from that point on, I doubt if they made their own carbs. I imagine that's a fairly rare item that you have there.

Cadillac joined GM in 1909.

I will planning on selling it but I would like to know what years and models of cars it will work on, for an accurate description. You can send me a PM if you want.
