In the picture you can also see the oil reservoir for the piston. An oil-impregnated shoelace licks the piston (made from an old bolt!) On each stroke.

Now that's funny Nick!
Do you get the commercials from the law offices of James Sokolove in Texas too? That's all I could think of when posting that :D
Unfortunately I do.
What a Troll.

Inserted through the overflow plug hole. I can't get it out, but the engine runs just fine.

Wierdest for me was a couple dead hornets that found their way into a steam engine cylinder and could not figure out how to get out.
I am glad I removed the head to clean and oil the upper cylinder before trying to turn or run it.
My 50 boiler that had the heaters removed, had mud dauber nests inside the tubes and the exhaust was plugged with a bit of mud too.

If you want to turn it over to the ATF, they will likely have an agent come by to pick it up if they think it might have prints on it pertinent to an unsolved crime.

I might do that as well. I have nothing to loose except maybe the SAITO boiler, but it's worth solving a crime if it's related to one.

Could it be the hiding place for the cartridge that was used to "off" Jimmy Hoffa, or is it just someone's attempt to make a smoke oil reservoir that would produce better than Saito's thin coil of tubing???Smoke oil reservoir is a good theory, thanks
