In this picture I think there is a Bowman in the upper left.
I would like some help with what model, etc.

Also what is the one on the lower level to the right?

Thanks,

Gil

Looks like a M140 to me

As above.

Whoever owns that display case has a nice collection

What's on the top right? Looks a lot like a Wormar Trojan, but minor differences.

EDIT: Is it the Monkey Wards version?

Are you buying them Gil? Those M140's have been bringing a lot on ebay. (and it's 2 cylinder in case you couldn't tell from the pic)

Yes, an M140 with a red Meccano pulley wheel that somebody has added. Next to it is what looks like a Weeden made Mighty Mite... very similar to a Wormar Trojan. I don't know what's on the lower shelf but it looks nice!

Here is another picture with the very bottom shelf not cut off.

That Robert Fulton's in nice shape.

Some of these will be sold.
I am still focusing on my Jensen collection but I will pass along reasonable offers for any of the items on these shelves.

Perhaps one day I would like a really nice Bowman as I have been very impressed with
the looks of the early Bowmans, Mersey's and flat base Mamods that some of you
fellows have restored. All that brass polished up is a sight to behold.

That's a superb collection, great taste. I like the way the collection tells a story of steam, and of it's toy counterpart.

There is more that includes some horizontal toys, rollers, and some scale models and smaller full sized working steam engines.

This man and his wife were collecting well before the internet brought us all together. He has become more interested in antique guns and I mean reall old stuff. He likes pre 1800 the most and has decided to lighten up on the steam engines.
