A great thread guys!
-
Rainer, Brent, Arnold, Maxwell, You all have some amazing accessories!
I hope I didn't leave anyone out.
-
Very nice
-
Gueten Oobe Arnold,
although the SACHSENMEISTER is full restored, this weak air hammer will not even flatten a cardboard... ;D
My cast iron 1890s Rob. ZINN eccentric hammer does a much better job... 8)

Arnold, you may want to replace your Stuart hammer against this homebuilt massive iron Trip Hammer...
Approx. 3kg heavy and will shurely flatten a red hot nail...! ;D
(Attachment Link)
Okay - homebuilt that's another story - but I have seen also a "Sachsenmeister" in your collection -
that is what I meant ;D ;D ;D
Arnold - greetings from Bodensee

Thanks Jim, posting them all at one time is impossible, because they spread around the house at several places...
Most of them have to sleep downstairs in the cellar shelf, but a few are placed in a bookshelf or temporary on one of the living room tables...

Unfortunately Christmas is coming up soon and the table had to be emptied for the christmas tree that will take place there the next weeks... :'(

Rainer,
I am with Charlie and the others. Post all of the accessories you have. I may not comment of them, But I will certainly look at them, study them, and appreciate them and you for posting.
-
I am very interested in your accessories!
Please don't stop posting.
Best gauge of interest is not responses but views.

Mike,
I know nothing about the cutter although it looks like a steam to me. But the shaper certainly isn't functional as a shaper--yes, it can go through all the motions correctly but could never actually shave off slices of metal as a real shaper would. Too small and weak for that.
Agree - also if these drive models are cast iron and sturdy - they where produced as toys for kids and not
for real use. Well you may make a hole into wood or you may cut wood - but nothing else. The toys are only powered by spiral springs - it's also about safety. For example, I have a steam hammer from Stuart - it is really very solid - but you can't really form red-hot steel with it - haha
Arnold ;D
Congrats, these are beautiful Sharpers - and very hard to find!!!

Bruce, in another forum across the big pond I used always to introduce my lates arrival of steam toy workshop accessories.
As this forum here is more focussed on engines I thought that accessories would not interest so much.
I tried two postings about a Marklin Saw and a Bing motor but got not so much feedback...
If you like, I will appreciate to show my accessory arrivals also here and if wanted also my old stock of workshop models.

Rainer , I invite you to start a thread of your own, showcasing your wonderful collection of accessories (because I know you have many) & I would really enjoy a detailed description of each at your leisure. 😊👍

Mike, your CARETTE disc cutter is a real Jeweler's or Watchmaker's tool.
Its meant to be used professionally cutting out discs out of sheet metal up to 0.5mm thick cleaner than you could do it manually with a pair of sheet metal scissors.
Other with the french LABEUR / EDOBAUD disc cutter (Cisaille) of the 1920... this one was meant as a steam toy only...
[attach=1] [attach=2]
Same story with some kind of Watchmaker's Drill Press like the french RADIGUET... they look and are shurely also have been used often as steam toys recently, but back then they where meant do be used professionally...

Rainer, not sure why you are saying that the circular cutter is not a steam toy?
As you see Brent shaper is very well detailed & fully functional. G. Carette made some amazing fully functional tools in the early golden years. These tools can run using any type of motor or engine.
-
Mike, thanks for the pics.
The color of the Power Press is so ugly, only a mother will love that kid... ;D
What you call a circular saw is a Jeweler's sheet metal Disc Cutter, not really a steam toy.
You can fix a matching piece of sheet metal with the center screw and cut out a disc.
The diameter or radius can be choosen by sliding the sled with the small adjusting wheel.
-
Here we go Rainer, but this is not its original color; someone painted it. I am working on removing the Green paint to expose the real color as shown on the front guide

Mike, can you show us some nice pics please !

Brent & Rainer,
I have two Carette machine tools that are marked like Brent's shaper. A very rare circular saw, and a punch press, they both bare the same Mark in the Cast Iron casting
-
Brent, none of them is marked ...
Only my small open CARETTE motor is marked...

Ranier,
Are yours marked in the same way with "G.C.& Co.N."? While all of your tools above and Bruce's drill press appear in the 1911 catalog, it's strange that the shaper does not.
-
Those are lovely Rainer , I know you have more , much more 😉😊
-
Brent, Thanks for the pics!
That's a very collectable model machine made in outstanding quality.
In late 1910s until 1914 when french born Georges Carette had to leave Germany, he made some very fine cast iron workshop models-
Here are some of mine...
-
What detail! Fine examples of our hobby.
-
An amazingly detailed accessory...
Never seen one of these before, thanks for sharing!
-
Thanks Jim and Bruce.
-
Those just ooze quality of build & detail, really nice (all three) you have impeccable taste Brent.
-
That Carette shaper is absolutely beautiful. There can't be very many of these left in the world. Thanks for showing.

Forgot to include this one:

As promised here are photos of the Carette shaper together with a Marklin example for comparison. The quality of the Carette is even better than the Marklin and includes a tiny (but working) machinist's vice. The third (tinplate) shaper I believe to be made by Ernst Plank although I've never seen it in any of the few known E.P. catalog reprints. I have not found the Carette in any catalog as well.
