Antique 1920s Weeden 14 Live Steam Engine - Toys Gift Boys Men # 0288

Description: LIVING ESTATE SALE (Details at the end of description) For your consideration is a Weeden 14 made in the USA in the 1920s. From the Weeden site :The Number 14, manufactured from the late 1800's up to 1940, was Weeden's most popular engine. It has a six legged table style cast iron frame, a design shared with two other similar electrically heated models, the No.647 and No.648. The No.14's distinctive boiler is heated with a rectangular shaped three wick burner. The engine may be reversed simply by stopping it and flipping the flywheel in the other direction. This genuine antique engine is a great restoration project.It has been air tested (video) and performed well on air, including the whistle.The governor was a bit reluctant to turn. In the present condition, the engine would not run on steam.It needs a pressure relief valve (must have). The base of the pressure relief valve is present but it is incomplete.It would also need some heating source ; typically a spirit burner. All in all, it is a nice and fairly easy project, but the bottom of the boiler is quite dirty (soot).Chances are, pretty much all the centenarian gaskets have dried up and need replacement. Please select the shipping system that suits you best. Condition : This genuine antique is a great restoration project. It has been air tested (video) but would not currently operate on steam. Two parts are missing : the burner tray and some elements of the pressure relief valve (only the base is present). All the parts are original with the exception of the governor that is a casting of an original one. The bottom of the boiler is quite dirty (soot). In the present condition, I would rate it a C4, but it has a great potential for a second life. VERY IMPORTANT : I am offering four shipping options. You can check the cost by clicking next to shipping on "See Details" or make your choice at take-out. The default is usually UPS Ground as Expedited Shipping can be expensive and is not necessarily more reliable. Please keep in mind that I do not control the cost of shipping that is calculated by eBay.Free pick-up is always available (Rock Hill, SC). LESS IMPORTANT : Items are packed and ready for shipping when I make the listing. Combined shipping cannot be done if one item is larger than 8 x 8 x 8 packed. If it is possible, smaller items can be combined upon request prior to the payment. Guarantee : Item is guaranteed to be as described. I am a very honest seller hoping to deal with honest buyers. If I know something is wrong, I will disclose it but I certainly can make an honest mistake and will do my very best to correct it. Warning : Many of these older collectibles are not in compliance with today's safety standards. It is the responsibility of the buyer to determine whether or not they are still suitable for their intended purpose. Adult supervision is indispensable with any steam engine. Packaging :Items are packed carefully and should remain undamaged through a standard level of care during handling. LIVING ESTATE SALE DETAILS :I had my first steam engine when I was 9 years old. That was 65 years ago. I have been collecting them for 25 years and I am now 74. None of my descendants is interested in the collection, so I decided that it was time to liquidate. As of November 2024, I still have over 1,300 engines of all kinds to list. I believe in full disclosure. It takes me about an hour to list one item, between the assessment, the testing, the video, the photos, the description and the very careful packaging. I try to have very reasonable prices. At comparable quality, my prices are probably the lowest on the market.MS/AI
