Sorry to post so late:
I think it is a Bing Engine due to the shape of the SV and the Whistle's handle

Did Bing make any engines where the crankshaft went through the boiler??

That's weird 
So is it just a screw?
Anyway, the shape of the engine tells it must be a Bing
Age i would say is is a fairly early one...1910 i would guess.

I have 2 German engines with just a screw and no SV, a launch, and a small Falk.
Someone at the Steam toys in Action meeting in Feb told me not to worry, as the cylinder/ port head acts as an SV in this situation.
Quite a few early engines had no markings, i have a Schoenner and Falk with none- so its just the shape of componrents/ engine that can give us an idea what it is. Makes for fun, and slight frustration |

Although old Roundy, its not that unusual, and they seem to come up fairly often on ebay .
Nice with chimney and burner- they often are lost.
I think on UK ebay it would make about £50 or so at the most. If selling list as " Bing vertical steam engine with burner" and it will make more that way. |

Yeah worth hanging onto I think 
Maybe you could try a different soft solder? Worth a try anyway.
I made an SE3 burner, and not knowing any better I silver soldered it.
My brother also made one with thinner gauge brass, but soft soldered it, and it held up well.
As did his repro Bing burner, for a vertical, it was soft soldered.
