Amazing. As to the cup its a filler cup i believe as the burner is incomplete. the cup would be used to measure using the supplied funnel for fuel or water. the burner is missing the vaporizer cap. Its one of the old mushroom burners you can see the pilot wick. Very good condition its winderful and the burner will still work just not as effecient.
Cheers great find!

Hi
Thought I would share my latest Marklin addition. It is a Marklin 4155/9 made between 1909 and 1915. The /9 means it had a boiler feed pump. It is large, the base is 6.5 x 12, the boiler 3.5 diameter, and it is 15 ¾ to the stack top. What is amazing to me is that the only things missing are two of the wood handles on valves, the metal posts are there so new could be easily made (at least by Bob). If you look at the burner you will see that the cup to extinguish the flame was still with it. A friend of mine works at antique shop several days and it came in, he sent pictures, and it was mine. Like many items in my collection, they just drop out of the sky ie blind luck!!
Sorry for the large photos first time doing photos
