Extraordinary early live steam portable farm engine signed "GBN" (Bing Brothers of Nuremberg). Nearly 8 inches long and 8 - 1/2 inches high. Engine has steerable front wheels activated by the pole for horse drawn moving as on the real engine. Also included are a flat topped steam dome, whistle, steam throttle/reversing valve, smokestack, boiler hand rails, an early GBN trademark on front of engine, and other components to make this truly a model of early portable engines. This is extremely rare.
