Just finished this first test on steam; looks like I need a couple more gaskets. This is the mid-size model in a series of six (no. 119/3 or 160/3S) from the 1910s.

Very nice EP Brent!

Does the hand pump work?

How tall is it; hard to tell the scale from the video.

Thanks Charlie. Hand pump works and it's 15 1/2" tall.

Oooooooh ..... that's nice!

The mushroom head burner certainly does its job well.

What a beaut!

I didn't even know these existed with manual feedwater pumps, thanks for sharing Brent
