Hi everyone,
I bought this beautiful engine at the flea market, and looking for information about it.
It may be a Pearl Zenith, I tried to contact the company but they unfortunately shut down their business.
If you knew something about it I would be very glad. Missing parts, blueprint s, pictures, anything that could help me to give it back its youth! At least a bit of it.
Have a nice day in any cases

I don't believe I've ever seen such an engine , but looks very interesting.
Good luck with your search.
it Does appear to be a Pearl Zenith.
At almost 3 feet tall it is not really a "model", but a full size working engine.
When you get it sorted out and running, you'll need to build a 30 foot steam launch.
According to the website, drawings are available at $125.00

Good luck with your repairs and restoration.
Hi quickj, st paul
Thanks for your message, yes I tried but the company closed down in 2015, no news for now. Fibers crossed though.
I'm not an experienced mechanic, so I'll wait a bit before beginning the restoration, at least to get the minimum information (missing parts, tolerance/slack...) What you told me it's already of a great help!
I'll let you know if i find something anyway
