Where is a EMPCO Labeled B-43, which is the same as a Empire.

Interesting features of this engine:

Has a reverser lever for the oscillating action for the engine.
Has working water pump, so you can add water as you are running the engine under steam!
Sight glass is ~4mm so the smallest of the Empire sight glass. I am unsure if I am going to take this one apart - the leaking isn't horrible. Normally this kind of press metal engine has a ~5mm sight glass.
While this is a EMPCO Labeled engine, it is the same as a Empire. It even says "Metal Ware Corp - Three Rivers" on it.
