Default History question: homebuilt pushers

In article .com,
says...

I was just looking back through the EAA Modern Mechanix Flying and
Gilder Manuals. None of the aircraft depicted were pushers -- except
for the Wright Flyers and some early Curtiss. In poking around for
old flying boat designs, I've found lots of pushers.

Does anyone know of any home built pushers from that era (1929-1932)?
I'm just curious.


Only thing I could think of from that era was the Burgess -Dunne seaplane.It was
a tailess swept wing biplane .Similar to the easy riser of hang glider fame.I
think only 3 were built and I don't think they would be considered homebuilts
but most everything built back could be considered homebuilt :-)
