It will also be listed on ebay for B.I.N. $550.
A plexiglass steam chest cover is used so you can watch the D-Valve operate.
There is a crack in the clear cover but it still works well.

This is the smallest of the Sipp engines offered and was introduced on the last page of the 1895 catalog.
It is a vertical double acting engine with a bore and stroke of 7/8"x 7/8".
This one has has cast iron, steel, aluminum, and bronze parts.
It runs like a Swiss watch as you can see in the video.

These are quite rare. In all my years collecting, I can count on one hand all that I have seen of this model.
I have 2 of them so this one will go to a new home.
Below are some good pictures and a copy of the catalog page followed by a video.
