Please, take a look at my other listings. I think that every item has a history and it is a matter of time for somebody to discover it. This is a very early and quite unique example of a toy that was actually a functional piece of machinery running on steam.It could be one of the earliest steam engine toys made in America. Each part in this model was made by hand. So far I have not attempted any restoration or cleaning work because the model was displayed i my museum project.
The overtype engine and a boiler sit on the burner box that could be removed. Notice that the engine and a boiler have many unusual decorative elements made of brass and tin featuring only in early models of that period.
