Antique Folk Art Toy Steam Engine Transition Early Electric Unique Lighthouse

Early Steam to Electricity Conversion... What a unique toy showing the transition from a circa 1900 steam engine toy into a lighthouse, probably converted in the 1920's. The artist removed the flywheel, etc. Keeping just the bottle shape of the furnace with its glass pressure gauge still intact on the back. They wired in a floodlight.

See photo with old original wiring and cork where was once probably a little steam whistle. Then they took the time to hand cut some stairs and complete the transition.

Probably for a son's train set. This piece is primitive and rough but that's its beauty. A shinning example (pun intended) of America's industrial transition from steam power to electricity during the first quarter of the 20th century.

This truly unique and sculptural piece measure's 7 3/4" x 4"3/4 at the base and is 13 tall. Perfect height for an end table or desk.

Would look amazing rewired and lit up again. See detailed photo's for over all condition.
