Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

The numbered engines were sold with a matching numbered book. My engine has the book; does yours?

Yes, both engines came with books. The “ratty” engine Andy Ross book is NOT numbered and is copyrighted 1977/1981 Second Edition. It had an advertising flyer jammed in it for a “This Little Saw Is Marvelous” hand saw imported by JEMCO. This Second Edition also had a hand placed sticker in the “Additional Information” book section for Ross Experimental, INC. of Columbus Ohio.

The better condition ca. 1977 engine had the Andy Ross 1977 hand numbered 1st Edition book, the original box with numbered label and postmark, original wick tied, original plastic shipping bag, and two separate letters from Solar Engines to the original owner.
