Description from the seller
The lying brass boiler rests on a sheet-metal firebox with finely embossed masonry-decor, two fire-door leaves with pierced air rosettes and an open combustion opening. Complete boiler outfit with steam dome, lever-safety valve, steam whistle, filling connection, manometer, and water gauge with drain cock. The steam is led to the machine via a separately mounted shut-off valve with a handwheel on the base plate.
The lying single-cylinder machine stands on a green-finished cast bed and features eccentric-sliding valve control, brass cylinder, a large flywheel with a broad metal rim, a centrifugal regulator, and an additional pulley wheel for driving accessory models. The painted wooden base plate is red-finished, green-lined, and enclosed by a profiled black frame; two holes were used for securing drive models.
Dimensions: base plate __ × __ cm, boiler Ø __ cm, flywheel Ø __ cm, height __ cm, weight __ kg.
Condition: Used, with signs of age and wear. Chimney and burner not present. Manometer presumably replaced later; visible solder joints on the boiler. Machine bed and flywheel likely overpainted, base plate with paint defects and edge scratches. A factory-assigned unity of boiler, machine, and base plate is not documented. Function and pressure resistance have not been tested; offered as a collector's and display object.
Shipping insured and carefully packed from Germany.
