I tossed the towel on finding one of these years ago, and had to purchase a fully functional 1951 Jensen 10, just to break it down for parts, so that i could at least have a replica represented here.
Such a cool item to have in your collection, thanks for sharing Nick !
Thanks
Let's see a pic of your repro Jan
By the way, do you have any sales records of one of these in your archives?
I know Gil has seen two on 1951 Jensen 50's and has a Big Power Plant with one and Rog had a stand-alone like this one...
Mine was purchased 10 years ago (arrived Feb 18th, 2010), I have just now finally cleaned the dust off of it.
The story goes... I was contacted by another collector in the UK who had received an email (through his website) from someone in California wanting to sell some Jensen items. I asked for a few pics, but only received two bad ones... BUT one was good enough for me to spot something special and I knew I had to buy it!
The guy had never sold anything over the internet and didn't have paypal, so I made an offer and sent a check out. It was a long week, waiting to see if the seller was going to be honest and send the goods... He actually sent the package out a day before receiving my check, so a medium gamble resulted in a big payoff
Included with the 55 was a set of Jensen tools. I believe the hammer is the one I sent over to Jan.
The only other picture he sent me:
Factory re-stamped:
The 55 also had it's original larger chimney included (repro at top and common size at bottom)
The 15 must have been on the 55 most of its life
