- Place of Origin:
- Period:
- Date of Manufacture:Turn of the 19th Century
- Condition:It is in outstanding original condition with all moving parts functioning except as stated below. A cup was added on the left back sometime in its life, but it is sealed on the inside, and was never wired for communication. The front door unscrews and the early style exhaust valve wheel turns. The air passages are all intact. The chin button is in place and functions. Field repairs were made to stop leaking using what appears to be epoxy. It also was coated with a lacquer like substance at some time. The bonnet shows numerous small dents in the front and on top with a large dent around the air inlet on the back. The red lead bedding compound on the left port shows it to be an old replacement. Copyright 2012 - 2011 by Land And Sea Collection™, All Rights Reserved.
