Brown Brothers motorcycles were made in England from 1902 to 1919 using both their own and, in later years, JAP engines. In 1914 the name Vindec was introduced for their motorcycles, unrelated to the German Allright Vindec-Special.

The forks and engine finning differ substantially from similar models listed in the gallery as of October 2016. It is likely a Precision engine. Considerable information here: F.E. Baker.

Hello,
My interest is: I recently acquired a circa 1904, 500cc engine and have
set myself the impossible task of finding or making a frame. Anything you
can come up with would be appreciated.
Regards, Ian Vedder-Price. Thames N.Z.

Brown Motorcycle magazine article
Brown Trials
Some years ago either Cycle World or Cycle magazine (USA) carried a
comprehensive article on the Brown Trials motor cycles of the early 1900's...
if anyone has a copy of this article or a link to the content this will
be of great interest, along with any other historical info on this great
marque. Thanks.

You requested info on "Brown" Motorcycles. I dont have a lot but roughly,
they were in production from 1902 to 1919 after which they started
to use the "Vindec" name. Originally, they made their own engines but late
fitted JAP models. I have heard that they supplied engines to "Corydon". There is also some suggestion that their engines were used for industrial
purposes. I attach a pix of a 1907 500cc model. Too modern for me.
Thats about all I have at present.
