    Description

    Very nice example of a 1911 working Georges Carette sterling type hot air engine 686;1.  3 1/2" flywheel and stands 12" tall and all original with exception of the fuel filler plug that was missing. Most of the original paint and pin stripping are still intact but with some played with wear, how many toys have you seen over 110 years old that will still function?. I have ran this engine on denatured alcohol and it runs very nice. Included is the book showing over 130 pages of toys made by this company. The book was printed in 1979 and has a wealth of information as to the many beautiful toys made in the early years. As is condition look at the photos.  I have seen these sell for over 00.00 not in this great of condition.  Sold and shipped to the states or Global shipping system, .00 will get it to a U.S.A. buyer or to the Global shipping system for further delivery and charges up to the buyer.
    I added a couple of photos to show the bottom and the tank which has a screw to hold the tank in place as from the factory.
