This steam engine is in fair, non-working condition. It can be used for parts, cleaned up for display, or possibly restored by a skilled craftsman.
We are by far not toy steam engine experts. In doing our research on this item, we have found other, very similar examples that date the item to the 1920's. Additionally, the thinner flywheel is a trait of earlier models such as this one appears to be.
Details:
The cast iron frame is in very solid condition, with ...no cracks or breaks noted. It measures approximately 6 inches by approximately 5 3/4 inches.
The brass tank, while solid and complete, shows multiple signs of previous repairs. The sight glass is intact and unbroken. The feed valve appears to have the handle broken off, but it turns freely. The feed pipe is detached, with signs of a failed previous repair. There is something rattling inside the tank. The tank measures approximately 6 1/4 inches long and has a diameter of approximately 2 1/4 inches.
The engine is detached from the base, but it's connecting rods are still attached and the string that acted as a "drive belt" is still present. The piston that is housed in the shaft covering does not appear attached to the connecting rod. The piston closest to the tank moves freely. Both connecting rods spin freely with the flywheel, and the flywheel spins freely as well. The engine measures approximately 3 inches long and the flywheel is about 3 inches in diameter.
