Smorgasborg of Accessories & Steam Engine/Roller
« on: March 30, 2022, 07:30:50 pm »
Okay, I talked my brother into sending me photos of some other items he got.  The Empire & Jensen, along with all these items (plus loose parts in a few boxes) he got from one fellow he has know for ages.  I want to say the guy is like 80+

Anyways, anything unique or worth anything?  If not, I hope you at least enjoyed the random photos!

Some nice stuff in there, my favorites would be the two wood cutters made by Arnold (along with the maroon/yellow drop hammers) and the Wilhelm Krauss windmill

I'll ask my brother if there is any ID on that Steam Roller (it looks darn cool), I have a feeling he doesn't know it.  For the record his friend has been giving him these items over the years and I think he was given a big lot of items not long ago.  Yes, read that as all these items were given as a gift (free).

I have that in my mind and seeing one of his dogs or cats attacking it - he lives out in the woods in East Texas in a A Frame Cabin - that thing would go up in smoke!  He better take it to his shop to try it out LOL

You have a pretty good point there, pretty funny too.  Kind of like my kids a zillion years ago, they only ever touched the hot oven once (after telling them don't touch - its HOT)!
