That is an amazing piece of history in superb condition.

I would love to know how much relatively speaking, it would cost at todays prices in 1915.

Arnold , that looks absolutely pristine! I'm always amazed when we find pieces from that long ago that looks as if they've never been touch since manufacture. given the shipping methods back in those days & the roads they traveled on it would be surprising if they arrived at the purchasers house in this good of condition....Congratulations  :)

Just got my Christmas present a little earlier - and it is absolutely sweet.
There is not much to say - never have seen such a beauty from 1915 - incredible
condition - will steam it the next days...
Model is Bing Vertical 130/97 - the largest - Flywheel 13,5 cm, Height 47,5 cm, Boiler 11,5 cm
Price was in 1915 110.00 Swiss Francs - that was a lot of money then. Unfortunately I had to
pay a little more!!! ;D  Enjoy the photos and stay save, Arnold
