True, but this was at the end of 2019 and we’re only at the beginning of 2021 😂 😂

LOL yeah but that's how young people think, older people think 2019, 2020, 2021 and we're nearly in 2022 now  ;D  :D  ;D  :D  ;D  :D  ;D  :D  ;D

Cute engine

The nozzle is perplexing...
How does the safety valve work?

The "nozzle" is just an air line fitting from the previous owner.

The safety valve simply pops up, but with the spring on the outside of the boiler. I'll take a close up picture for you...

Nick:

Could you post a picture of the burner with dimensions?

I need to make a burner for mine.

Another great addition to your collection!

Thanks Nick.

I tried mine unsuccessfully. You have motivated me to try again. 🤠

Thanks Charlie, yes I will get some pictures and dimensions, but I cannot guarantee that it is original... I am sure the fill plug is not original (would have likely just been a small hole) and also not sure about the handle...

Have you run yours on air or steam?

Nick, where DO you find all of these little gems?

No secrets, just the auction sites we all use  ;)

Not the best original paint and the green/red is repainted (likely in the 1970's), but it was in decent shape and more importantly, affordable  :D
