Description: LIVING ESTATE SALE (Details at the end of description) For your consideration is an Empire B30 Electric Live Steam Engine made in the USA in the 1940s. The B30 was the most popular engine produced by Empire. It is very sturdy with a cast iron base and heavy gauge copper and bronze.While not a rare find, this particular engine is in very good condition.It has been air tested (video).The heating element warms up, using the electric cord that is provided.Two things are not original from 80 years ago : the electric cord is of a newer model and the whistle dome is a replacement. Please select the shipping system that suits you best. Condition : This antique live Steam engine is in very good condition. It has been air tested (video). It is all original, except for the electric cord and the whistle dome. The heating element warms up (using the electric cord that is provided). I would rate it a C6/C7. VERY IMPORTANT : I am offering four shipping options. You can check the cost by clicking next to shipping on "See Details" or make your choice at take-out. The default is usually UPS Ground as Expedited Shipping can be expensive and is not necessarily more reliable. Please keep in mind that I do not control the cost of shipping that is calculated by eBay.Free pick-up is always available (Rock Hill, SC). LESS IMPORTANT : Items are packed and ready for shipping when I make the listing. Combined shipping cannot be done if one item is larger than 8 x 8 x 8 packed. If it is possible, smaller items can be combined upon request prior to the payment. Guarantee : Item is guaranteed to be as described. I am a very honest seller hoping to deal with honest buyers. If I know something is wrong, I will disclose it but I certainly can make an honest mistake and will do my very best to correct it. Warning : Many of these older collectibles are not in compliance with today's safety standards. It is the responsibility of the buyer to determine whether or not they are still suitable for their intended purpose. Adult supervision is indispensable with any steam engine. Packaging :Items are packed carefully and should remain undamaged through a standard level of care during handling. LIVING ESTATE SALE DETAILS :I had my first steam engine when I was 9 years old. That was 65 years ago. I have been collecting them for 25 years and I am now 74. None of my descendants is interested in the collection, so I decided that it was time to liquidate. As of November 2024, I still have over 1,300 engines of all kinds to list. I believe in full disclosure. It takes me about an hour to list one item, between the assessment, the testing, the video, the photos, the description and the very careful packaging. I try to have very reasonable prices. At comparable quality, my prices are probably the lowest on the market. MS/AI
