Here is an engine I was fortunate to have acquired from a gentleman who could look at his half a cord stack of scrap brass parts, visualize what he wanted to build and pull pieces out of his pile, set them on the bench and commence turning and cutting. His small engines are truly mechanical art.
On this piece, the coolant tank was made from the cast brass center bulb from a fireplace andiron. The stand post and main bearing pedestals were once candlesticks. The eagle was the finial on a brass lamp.
Enjoy.
