Chase is still around (founded 1876) but now in Ohio:

Just checked my earlier 50 and I cannot find any markings (it would fall between Jack's and the one I posted from the early '70's), but I also cannot get my head in the shelf very well to see the underside...

Looked all around with a mirror and I do not spot any markings on that one

So cool .... here's yet another Tom Jensen Sr. "Artifact", using the hallmarked portion of the pipe on a top end engine without machining it away, or even trying to be sure it was oriented on the underside.

Just another reason to love the Jensen quirkiness, I guess!

Thanks, Nick! I had forgotten our conversation about that a few years back.

Replacing some screws. Sanded and painted the Firebox and Smoke Stack base. Cleaning the original fabric cord.
Getting a little bit closer!
