 Nice find and a very good runner. I have a 4150 of this vintage and the base has a shine to it like your engine. They must have changed the painting process a little adding a clear coat ?  My earlier engines with black bases are not as shiny. I like this era of Marklin with the gold pin striping and cast covers.   
 
 I'm guessing these were made in the 1920's to 30's if anybody can confirm ? 
Cheers Bob, I collect mostly German steam stationary engines.
