Offered here is a rare and attractive early 20th century Jean Comby horizontal live steam engine featuring a twin-cylinder oscillating (twin piston) configuration. This is a scarce and desirable form seldom encountered compared to the more common single-cylinder toy engines of the period.
Specific production date is unknown, though is likely to be somewhere between 1920-40.
Includes:
Twin horizontal oscillating cylinders mounted on a central pivot block
Brass horizontal boiler with original central strap
Red spoked flywheel
Tall separate chimney stack with matching base
Original pipework and fittings
Burner tray present
Period safety valve and filler cap
The engine shows age-related wear, surface oxidation, and paint loss consistent with its 100+ year age. The finish and patina are authentic and untouched. Please study the photographs carefully.
Please feel free to ask any questions or request additional photos.
