Post by: RichSteamTx on March 31, 2022, 07:08:05 am: You have a pretty good point there, pretty funny too. Kind of like my kids a zillion years ago, they only ever touched the hot oven once (after telling them don't touch - its HOT)!

I have that in my mind and seeing one of his dogs or cats attacking it - he lives out in the woods in East Texas in a A Frame Cabin - that thing would go up in smoke! He better take it to his shop to try it out LOL
When fired up , that dog or cat would any attempt to put it into their mouth once... Then run off like they're mouth is on fire....because it is !

Post by: RichSteamTx on March 30, 2022, 09:51:45 pm: I'll ask my brother if there is any ID on that Steam Roller (it looks darn cool), I have a feeling he doesn't know it. For the record his friend has been giving him these items over the years and I think he was given a big lot of items not long ago. Yes, read that as all these items were given as a gift (free).

Post by: RichSteamTx on March 30, 2022, 07:30:50 pm: Okay, I talked my brother into sending me photos of some other items he got. The Empire & Jensen, along with all these items (plus loose parts in a few boxes) he got from one fellow he has know for ages. I want to say the guy is like 80+

Anyways, anything unique or worth anything? If not, I hope you at least enjoyed the random photos!
