Jensen Steam Engine #90
« on: March 26, 2019, 09:04:06 am »
New in box.  I have never fired it and I think it’s virgin so to speak.  Came with new cord.  Original box. Will consider reasonable offers.  I use PayPal.

Hi Gary, please add some pictures.... Especially a well focused close up of the site glass.

Thank you.

Thank you for the additional pictures.
An unused site glass shows up better without the white paper behind it.

By chance did your #90 come from a now deceased Jensen dealer named Paul Gagnon?

Yes.  Paul and I used to go to a lot of yard sales and Owls Head auctions.  I got some nice things at his estate auction.  Someone has asked....all offers will be considered.

Amazing engine with some real history behind it.

I'm sure the heavy hitters are all well alerted by now, so I'll just sit back and watch what happens, hoping that I'll get to see more of this rare bird, regardless of who eventually brings it home.

I thought about making one, and even contacted Gary by PM, but in the end I realized that this engine is completely out of my league, so best of luck to you Bruce!
