I got Jensen engine #3 for me in today.. It's a 45. I never even heard of or seen a 45 till I found this one on Facebook marketplace.. Then I searched YouTube and found out about them. The seller told me it's a steel boiler but I just got it and it's brass which I think is a plus and it would explain its condition.. I just need a cord now. The stack is with it too!
I hope you guys don't mind me showing my scores.. Take a look.

You're on a roll now
And Yes! Please keep sharing the collection with us as it grows
Nice brass boiler 45 you got there!
As Bruce suggests with his moving comment, your sharing your passion and collection with us here is exactly what this Forum was set up to do, exactly this sort of thing!!!
Just to add a bit to your Jensen knowledge base .... The Jensen 45's that have a fixed cord are the ones with the steel boilers (wartime production shortage of copper and brass), and you probably don't really want one of those as more often than not the boiler is rusted out, or soon will be. The ones that have the plug in cord have always been brass boilered units, at least in all of my experience I've never seen otherwise. A standard appliance cord, like one for a coffee maker is all you should need, and you can easily find them online, at hardware stores, or kitchenware shops.
Jensen # 4 arrived Thursday. It's a #35 I cleaned it up and tried it out tonight.. I'm really happy with it. Smooth. Fb tag sale sites have some good buys. I hope you like it.
Thanks for looking.

Nice .... looks like that one is early enough to have a solid wood base, instead of plywood ..... well done!
The Jensen 35 is the speed demon of the fleet, as there is no steam line to lose heat and you are feeding the cylinder straight from the boiler!
It's in great shape, too!
Very well done, Billy...!!!
