This engine is in an exceptional condition and I don't remember seeing another one that compares.It has been air tested (video) and the heating element warms up.The cord is in good condition.Except for the missing box, there is nothing negative to report for this engine. Ah ! yes, there is... As you can see, it is my # 0021 and I was quite a newcomer at the time so my labels are marked Weeden 44 but it is in fact a Weeden 43. From the Weeden site :"Weeden No. 43 was manufactured from the mid 1940's to early 1950's, base was 6 1/4" X 9 1/4" and it stands 7" high." Please select the shipping system that suits you best. Condition : This is an exceptional 70+ years old Live Steam Engine ! Short of the original box, it is 100% complete. It has been air tested (video) and the heating element warms up. I cannot recall one in a comparable condition. I would rate it a C7. 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 October 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.SU/AI
