That is a truly great little Stirling!

Very interesting that they configured it as a Mock Steam Engine, but it certainly runs great and I do suppose the cooling water in the "boiler" does help make for longer and better runs.

NICE!!!

Krauss Mohr & Co. made this unique toy for Doll & Co. and perhaps others (Bing?) around 1911. While it appears to be a steam engine at first glance, it's actually a vertical hot air engine. The "boiler" is a water tank to cool the upper part of the engine.

Awesome finds Gil!! Glad you got the whistle back with the engine, I’ve had to make extra purchases in the past too to get the correct parts.

An amazing thing to see this 90 year old engine running so well in original condition. How will you fix the lightbulb terminals?
....

Thanks for asking.

It will only require cleaning the brass generator brushes and the stator and adjusting the pressure on the outside brush.

What an amazing piece of Jensen History that you now get to be the custodian for its further journey on into the future!!!

That ran GREAT ...... but of course, it is a Jensen, after all!!!
Thanks, Daniel.

All I did was oil it and wipe it down. 
It's timing was set up perfectly.
