I've also learned to never say 'never' when it comes to toy companies and their products; the blue series of tools were certainly made beyond 1905. I may replace the lathe someday but for now I like that it reflects something of its history of ownership and so will leave it as is.

MÄRKLIN never mixed parts of the dark blue 1902-1905 series with parts of the late green 1920s series...  ;)
However, the mixup shows somewhat of the history of this rare collectable piece and tells a story...
If you like it - leave it as it is...

Thanks for your opinion. I have a blue lathe that could easily be substituted but prefer to leave the piece as I found it. I have learned over many years that whenever you think there is a hard and fast rule regarding a company's color schemes, etc., you find an exception. There will be no repainting or touching up.

I saw that the lathe is (except of the bed) from the 1920s Dark Green Series.
You should carefully repaint that to match the other models of the Dark Blue Series with light blue pinstriping.
Restored / repainted is always better than a color mix...  ;)

An incredible bargain considering it came with a beautiful never-fired Doll engine from the 1920s and when you see what one of these sold for a few years ago in Germany. These are the only two I've seen in over 35 years of collecting.

Impressed by how strong and steady that old engine runs, when properly heated...

Amazing setup Brent, thanks for sharing!

A great pair, Brent! I’m sure the engine will get the attention it deserves now.

Thanks Charlie--Both the workshop and the engine arrived shortly after you were here. Still working on a video of 'the big one'.

I LOVE the workshop Brent!

Is it a recent acquisition; or did I miss it when I visited last?

Walter, it will certainly be worth the wait.

A good show Brent, I've had the makings of one of the Marklin Hot Air Engine for a while now; it's just getting around to machining up the hot bulb and displacer etc for it; one of these days maybe I'll get around to it.

You don't have to apologize for the video at all. I think it is good. It's the content that counts. And I like it extraordinarily well. Thank you for showing the little film here.

Both of these pieces are from around 1912 or so and are in original condition. I apologize for my one-handed videography.
