The embossed boiler ends can make dating difficult becouse although they were used between 1900-1909 they could also be found on engines produced between 1924-1932. I have such an example in my collection.

The fact the base is in such could condition makes me feel it is later than 1909 although Im most likely wrong!!!!!!

I was just asking questions, because I was bidding on this one:

I didn't win, but I see how the base design matches yours.

I wanted to bid on that one too, but the timing was off for me. The darned banker thinks that I need money in my account before I go and buy things, has no idea of what fun is.

It was only at $30, so I bid a little over $60. The shipping to me was only $3.70.
