• The base has a distinct Bing look to it Dennis however the firehouse and boiler are different.
  My example shown here has 1913 under the base.

• I wonder if ‘Anaconda’ is the name of or type of brass/brazing rod that that shaft was made from and was left on the piece. I have seen other rods with similar lettering.

• It’s a German made Renown 101 
  
  Haha, I have no clue, but agree with Walter on the base

• Certainly looks German to me, but how much toy steam production actually occurred during the WWI war years I wonder? Seems like brass in particular would be hard to come by for toy makers!

• I don't have a clue on the model or maker.
  
  But, a nice engine.
  
  Is it a runner?

  Anaconda Copper was a large company founded in Butte Montana in the 1800's. I the 1920's they bought American Brass in Connecticut. They supplied copper products to the world.

• Actually, it does not look like a German product to me...
  
  Apart from the base, that is.
  
  Looking forward to seeing a reliable identification and the video of its first run...
