With respect - I beg to differ on the brass screws - nearly all of my Empire’s brass throttles are bent or twisted. I had @Paula work on one and she mentioned brass being the problem with the prolonged heat.  So I tend to believe her but that’s all I really know.

I just bought a butt load of Weedens off eBay, not a 672 but other nice examples with an electric motor & accessories.  Ugh, so much for not buying more but it’s a nice package deal. 

Thanks for the photos Charlie - you have one with a governor?  So I assume no earlier than 1935
