Wow , I've never seen a complete example before, extremely rare. Its obvious though the Jensen ad photo has some major photo shopping going on, her right shoulder is missing ,she's not actually holding it, and the background is Super imposed.

Bruce:

I think a SPS Replica is already floating around in your head.

This is the information I was given on the Deluxe models: John Loughner developed and made these for John Foskett. While officially unauthorized by Tom Jensen Jr., They were offered only through Jensen via John Foskett, the then sales manager/general manager of Jensen Steam engines. Also featured on these engines is a ball-bearing Jensen 15 generator/lamp post.

Maybe @SteamerJ (John Loughner) can share some info?

I do wonder given how the letter is written if the "Steve" isn't Steve Tyner Jensen head of their online computer presence and programming. I don't think the note is from Tom Jr. The initial s don't look like TJ but more like JF- John Foskett, also n/c (no charge) if needed denotes a closeness to the project.

I was also thinking Cedge, and tried to find his website because he used to have a story on there of when he got into the hobby but for some reason I thought it was the early 2000’s?
