Tin Litho Boiler Room Hand Crank Engine
I'm gonna tell you right now that I'm not entirely sure how this works. I know you turn the crank and a whole buncha gears inside start turning and there's a big fly wheel and then a little tab on the outside that'sā¦ power maybe? It's a little engine, I get that much.
One of the gears appears to intentionally move out of place because it has a slot big enough for it to slip down. Makes zero sense to me but maybe you understand. The tabs that hold the roof on have broken off at some time in the past due to metal fatigue.
Still a super cool little unit that could likely do with a little restoration and love when it comes to the inner works and the roof!
Measures 14.3cm x 9.5cm x 5.2cm tall (including the amount the handle sticks out).
