eBay find: Please help ID 9.5" brass steam engine

• eBay find: Please help ID 9.5" brass steam engine
  Posted by Osprey on 12 Oct, 2021 12:21
• This engine came from New Mexico so is probably made in the USA.  It stands 9.5" tall and has a bore x stroke of approx. 1.5" x 1.5".  It will not run on air as the valve gear and connecting rod are too heavy.  I hope that with a flywheel it will run.  The crankshaft diameter is .5".
  
  I would love to know who made it and how old it might be.
  
  Thanks for any help.

• Looks like it was built by a machinist to me.
  
  And that they knew what they were doing.
  
  You are going to need a large flywheel for sure.

• Thanks for all the responses.  I guess it will remain a mystery who made this handsome brass engine.
