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!
added a few more photos... which one is the ferris wheel that I really like!
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
Nice Richard , I wonder what make the chain driven steam roller is ?
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).
Thanks for that!
Found a site about it and others from this manufacturer:
WEEDEN No.646
Frank (weedensteam.com) is a member here, I see a very old video of mine is still up on the site, might have to film a better one that can actually be seen

They are a ton of fun! Talk your brother into firing it up
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

When fired up , that dog or cat would any attempt to put it into their mouth once... Then run off like they're mouth is on fire....because it is !
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)!
