    I saw this one and looked at it several times, was not sure what it was, but the price was right. I thought that it was newer, 1920s-30s, now wish I had bought it!

Forgot to mention, I had to search through the “snow” to find a small nail that worked itself out of the base in shipping  :D

Well, I've done a couple 'BINs as fast as I can' purchases
so I've been lucky on occasion, too.  I've been looking
for an old German engine w/tiled base but they just seem
to slip through my fingers.  I'm 'jelly' as my son says.

Put up a running video!

Congratulations,
Wayne

Thanks again Wayne and will do! If I can get both of the Schoenners in easy running condition I’d like to get a video of the pair running together. 8)

Cute little engine - pretty decent shape given its age.

So, how long was the listing up there and HOW did I miss
it?  You must have a secret search routine!

Congrats,
Wayne

Haha, looks like it was up for 27 minutes with only 6 views

Don't know the model numbers but they're both great.

I clicked the BIN as fast as I could on the Vulkan  ;)

The Zenith came from bigal’s collection


Hi Nick,

In case you don't have it, hope this helps to indentify the Zenith.


Regards,


Maurice.

Thanks again Maurice! I will have to dig it out and get measurements, but from memory it is likely the smallest one.

Hi Nick,

It is a copy / paste error, in the lower table it schould say 21 to 24 as in the price table.
Your beautiful Schoener is a 112/21, congrats with your purchase.


Maurice.

Thank You! I assumed it was just an error in the table.

I have a “Zenith” that I will have to dig back out and get a good picture of the pair together…

In very good shape for 120 years old, but I’m confused by the model number??

The engine matches the dimensions highlighted in yellow, but is the model number 112/13 1/2 or is it a 112/21? I assume it’s the 112/21, are the numbers in the lower table wrong?
