Hi Mike, That is a real interesting and unusual find.
Weeden comes to mind with lead cylinders however not even closely related to yours.
If you get a chance to pull the steam chest cover off, I would be very interested in photos of the internal rigging.
None I have seen have the valve rod going into the steam chest that low.
Congrats..!!!

Howdy Gil, looks to me from the first photo when magnified, that the valve rod is actually entering the steam chest at centerline height or very nearly. The second photo's perspective does make it look to be very low, but I don't think that is actually the case?!?!
Good observation Daniel. I suspect you are correct!
Had I gone back to the first picture I would have seen it as an optical delusion, LOL.
