Poor thing, but price seems fair though...

25$ for a nice safety valve, whistle and steam valve...and most likely a fully usable boiler and flywheel as well, would seem like a bargain to me.

Heck, i even think it would run as is, if the cylinder isn´t completely stuck.
Would be proud to have it as is on my shelf here, as a proof of Jensen quality ;D
I agree Jan, it would be a novelty to do no more than is needed just to get it to run & display as is.

I have a true wreck of a Jensen, that I got as part of a combo deal. While it doesn't look as bad as that one, it does look as though it may have been through a fire, then left out in the rain! Perhaps I should clear shelf space to allow for it to be "proudly" displayed?!?!
