That is a real nice looking piece, Brent, and very fairly priced. If I did not already have one I would be all over it.

According to the Jensen experts this model was only made in 1951. This one cleaned up nicely and is all original except for the new chimney from Jensen; even the old shellac finish is very nice. Runs well on steam but slows when the light bulb is engaged (lights it dimly). There is nothing wrong with the dynamo or engine but some steam leaking from the top sight glass fitting which needs re-sealing. As you can see in one of the photos the top fitting has been pushed in very slightly (1/16" or less) which is hardly noticeable and caused no damage to the boiler. I have cleaned it but not polished anything--will leave that up to the next owner. Could also use new paper gaskets all around. Feel free to ask questions; $750 or best offer; I will pack it very well and ship at cost.
