• Today's booty consisted of a 41cm long by 18cm high DOLL Transmission 354/3 of the 1920s, which still needs a little attention, and a small calander roller machine from a unknown manufacturer, which was restored very quickly after unpacking ...
  Has one of you ever seen one of them ...?

• I have not seen one of these; and it sure is a neat accessory.
  
  The Doll transmission is very nice too.
  
  Thanks for sharing your latest additions to your incredible collection.

• Thanks to the research of Walter, a collector colleague, it seems to be the No.3 PAIR BRIGHT BRASS ROLLERS from 1914, shown in the catalog of CLYDE MODEL DOCKYARD Glasgow, Scotland!
  Such calander rollers were (and still are) used for bright rolling brass sheet.
  Seems like I could have got hold of a small rarity here again ... 😉

  Thanks!
  I'm collecting steam toy accessory workshop machines nearly w/o exception... almost, as I really made it to own three stationary steam engines over all the years... but actually far more than 150 workshop acessories...
  There are some elaborate and expensive pieces in my collection, but this one means a lot to me because it's so rare ...

  As I already wrote, I restored it immediately after unpacking... it looked a bit different when it arrived...

  There was a lot of paint missing, it was amateur soldered to the tin base, the bridge was missing and the matal casting was not clean with craters and holes which had to be filled and sanded...

  Finally I added springs and nuts to the roller fasteners to support the roller bearings...
