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.MM/AI a Mamod Live Steam Roller SR1a made in England between 1973 and 1975. The window for the date of production is indicated by the still spirit burner stopped in 75 but the combination of reversing and newer whistle style started in 1973. So, give or take, it's around 50 years old. It has NOT been fired.The roller has been air tested (video).It is 100% original and 100% complete.The original box is in fair to poor condition but still has the original inserts. You will only need some denatured alcohol (91% recommended) and distilled water is highly recommended. A few things to report : - There is a bit of surface rust on the whistle bracket, - There is a bit of sealant residue under the belly of the boiler. - So a bit of cleaning is probably in order but it's very gift-able.
