Boiler arrived today
« on: February 19, 2025, 12:49:14 pm »
This popped up a few days ago with best offer and I threw quite a low offer ( plus the cheap shipping) which was accepted. Didn’t know how much would be copper or steel, but looking it over, just the super heated steam line is steel, everything else is copper or brass, so I lucked out there! Of course the firebox/stack are tin. Curious if anyone recognizes it or if it’s a complete home build with some good parts on it? Yes I see the asbestos and it will be carefully handled/replaced ;)

Guess it is a home built boiler - armatures consider to be all from Stuart England
Congrats - nice object to restore and add a mill engine :D

Yes, it has Stuart and Bassett-Lowke parts, but I have found similar boilers in my Cole’s Power Models catalogs from the 30’s-50’s, so I was wondering if anyone had seen one like this before.

What a cool looking boiler, none the less.  Would make a great fit for a steam plant  ;D
