Interesting story Mike, it's in extremely good condition,  also interesting to know what Jensen values them at. I find the hardest sellers to deal with are the ones who are told by others what something is worth.

Bruce, you are absolutely right. If a high figure is planted in a seller’s head, then anyone trying to convince them it’s too high, is perceived as trying to rip them off. The seller is also trying to sell one of those later Empire engines with the copper colored boiler for $200. I think he’ll be sitting on that one for a while.

Mike, I believe you made a good sale/trade.  I would love an old standalone Jensen 15 like that, but I guess I'm just looking for love in all the wrong places!!!

I agree, Rog. Opportunity doesn’t usually knock more than once on something like this. It could be years before another shows up. You don’t build a Jensen collection by passing on high prices. We all know that. You have to pay to play sometimes. Lol

Here’s a video of my Jensen 50 pulling the early 15 generator. I think I ran it for almost 3 hours straight today. 😁

What an AWESOME pairing!  8) 8)

I would run that for hours too. Have always liked the look of the big tag on this era of 50's

Wow! It's hard to believe these prices! I bought my 15 for $15, but had no idea what i had at the time. I bought my 95g new from jensen- i don't remember how much they cost at the time, but I'm sure it was under $1K.
The 15 is a great addition Mike-Congrats.

Doug,
The Jensen 95G I have that was bought new in 2008 was around $775. It would be interesting to know the total number built since it seems to be a rare occasion when one shows up for sale.
I think you may have the earliest 15 generator around since it appears to be painted the earlier darker blue and the base is a different size (I believe it’s larger) than all the others I’ve seen. A fantastic piece, especially at $15!!

When introduced in 2005, the #95 was priced at $649.98, when the stock depleted in 2017 it was priced at $772.95.
