happy hunting trip
« on: July 25, 2021, 10:26:59 am »
Yesterday I went on a long drive on what I thought might be a wild goose chase. I visited an older collector of mostly farm engines and related antiques but found these gems among all the other stuff. The Doll ship's engine is the model 352/4, largest in the series with a 9 cm boiler. I'm not Jensen collector but the other appears to be a no. 10 with the one-piece round magnet dynamo--1951? Both just need a good cleaning. The little vice will go on my work table. It was a good day.

Thanks Bruce,
I know it sounds like false humility, but it's true. I bought these last two Jensens on a hunch and was not sure they were worth what I was paying. I bought the first no. 10 because it had a riveted boiler and this one because I thought I remembered something online or in a video about a round magnet being uncommon. I definitely knew what I was buying with the Doll.

You are correct about the Jensen #10 , that Omega magnet model was only made in 1951 , thus pretty rare and very collectable.

Love steam engines, especially older German made.  Love the more clockwork style.  Addicted to this stuff!
