The cylinder and boiler does look like Major Toy Company´s "Little Red Injun"...
Different cast engine support, compared to the stamped tin supports i´ve seen in the past, and also a different more slim firebox.
Perhaps this is an early version...made before some cost-benefit expert joined the company?

I inherited this engine which I am told is made in USA.
It is missing its burner so if anybody can help with a picture I would be most grateful
Thank you
