This is offered for sale on FB and our For Sale board.

The tag reads: This working steam engine was purchased at a Philadelphia estate sale. 
The owner ran a sewing factory where this engine was used to wind bobbins.

Another tag reads: Circa 1890 Mfg in NJ by Sipp Engine Company
Sold by Goodnow & Whiteman, Boston, Ma.

This would have been the Sipp Electric & Machine Company of Paterson, New Jersey. 
It is shown in the 1895 Sipp Catalog.
