AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Educational model of a steam engine. The model was produced in Poland by BIOFIZ. It dates from the 1960s-1970s. The item is in very good technical condition (see photos). This example was made of cast iron, steel, and wood. Such models were used in primary schools in the 1960s-1970s as educational tools. Currently, the engine model is used for decoration, advertising, and shop window displays. Turning the wheel causes the pistons to move back and forth, and the speed regulator rotates. All parts are movable. The item has scratches, rust, and is a typical vintage object, with original hammer paint. Please see the photos for your own assessment.
