| The Appleton Manufacturing Company of Batavia
began selling "Chanticleer" engines probably sometime after 1911, because the 1911 Appleton catalog makes no mention of offering engines. However, the 1913 catalog has "Chanticleer" engines listed with an Appleton logo. Appleton was purporting in its 1914 engine line catalog of having the ability to manufacture all components of its Appleton engines in its modern facilities in Batavia. Based on the preceding information, it seems possible, Haish could have made the early "Chanticleer" style engines sold by Appleton from about 1911-1913. However, according to their brochure by 1914 they were casting and assembling the Appleton line of engines in their own foundry. The 1917 catalog for the Appleton line of equipment continued to offer "Chanticleer" style engines. Did Haish in some manner work a deal with Appleton in regards to his engine patents sometime around 1913 or did Haish sell the Appleton company franchise rights to his "Chanticleer" engine line or lastly were all Appleton engines made in Haish's factory and they were using the description in the 1914 Appleton engine brochure loosely when they wrote (all components were made in their own modern facility in Batavia? - is not known for sure-to date. It is important to note that on the chanticleer engine serial number registry,  some known Appleton engines can't definitively be identified as made in Haish's or Appleton's factory. However, one can not mistake the distinctive similarities between Appleton and Haish engines.
