• A little beauty. At the same time a rarity.
  
  Congratulations on your purchase.
  
  You don't often get the opportunity to make a purchase like this.

• A wonderful Carette engine at a very fair price.
  
  It is similar to one in my collection.

• Wow - very nice and rare. The Carette fly wheels are so nice.
  Not too expensive for this beauty and a very good state - only
  a little miss of sheet metal on the rear. I wood leave it with
  the patina. Congrats, Arnold
  Age? maybe good before 1900

• Walter, I responded to your post in the "other" forum--it's model no. 174 from the late 1890s.

• Thanks to all replies and yes Brent, I did see your reply on that forum; thank you.
   And I think that I know where you are coming from @Nick , fortunately my finger snapper just bought some artwork for the lounge so I had some bargaining power up my sleeve and my birthday just passed.
