From steamtoy.com: "The Weeden Manufacturing Company was started by William N. Weeden in the 1880s in New Bedford, Massachusetts. The company first produced oil lamp burners and tin plate household items. Through his dealings he came to meet the owner of the "Youth's Companion" magazine where they struck up a deal to produce toy steam engines to give away as premiums for his magazine. The engine that Weeden produced was the Weeden No.1 which was priced at .00 and held a patent date of May 19, 1885, and manufactured up to 1905. Other products he made were comb cases, match safes and the Weeden Magic Lantern." In the 1890's the Weeden Company expanded their line of steam engines featuring cast iron bases, large brass boiler, nickel plating and more realistic looking steam engines.".
The Live Steam Railroad Locomotive Engine offered here is a Weeden #1 Steam Locomotive with original, six wick burner. The Locomotive Engine was expertly, professionally restored sometime in the past and displays in excellent to near mint condition. The Locomotive is complete and although we have not fired up the Engine, we guarantee that the Locomotive is in fine, working condition. The surfaces display beautifully and the Locomotive Engine makes for a simply fantastic display piece. Please see the scans below for a good representation of the form and condition of this beautiful Weeden Live Steam Locomative.

Important Notes about Shipping Charges:
The amount quoted for Shipping & Handling is calculated by eBay and is equal to the EXACT amount charged by the Post Office plus a .00 "packing fee" - the .00 fee is our only compensation for the virgin packing materials we use on all of our professionally packaged boxes as well as our cost for the salaried help that does most of our packing - as I am sure you can see, we make NO profit on the Shipping charges and, in fact, our costs are usually greater than the .00 fee. Please contact us if there are any issues regarding the cost of shipping.
