Bing Poppet Valve
« on: April 25, 2021, 12:35:10 pm »
Once again I was very lucky and got a nice lot of old machines (9 pcs)-
I will show you these delicacies from time to time so that you don't get too much racing heart ;D

Today I start with No. 1 - the Bing Poppet Valve - all original with Dynamo in a excellent Status - and it works perfect,
That puts a smile on your face - Greetings Arnold

These Bing poppets are wonderful engines - but you rarely find them is such an excellent state! Congratulations!

This seems to be the smallest boiler size, I presume?

  In very nice condition. Look forward to the rest of the hoard. Did you use a metal detector to find them ?  :)
Cheers Bob, I collect mostly German steam stationary engines.

A spectacular acquisition in amazing condition!

And you say that you got eight more in the lot?

Yes, you had best ration them out slowly to us, so as to not cause too much stress on our bodies and minds!!!  ;c)

the door is walnut from 1721 - 300 year old - the lock maybe younger. Have you noticed the small painting - this was my great great Grandfather 1833 - he was a locksmith...

I did notice the oval painting, we just don't see/have beautiful hardware from that long ago in the States , is the rest of the home of the same age ?

yes - my home was build in 1721 and always in the same family - have a picture from winter 2020/2021

Inside there are many up dates - the best is an elevator... ;D
