"As far as we know," David says, "it's the only one."

David and his father are active collectors.

"Together we have about 50 gas engines," he says. "Several Internationals, a 6 hp Famous screen cooled, a 2 1/2 hp Famous hopper cooled, and a 1/2 hp Plunket Junior." The Plunket is particularly unusual: It has just one flywheel, was made between 1906 and 1919, and is one of probably just 12. "It had been used in a dentist's office in western Kansas," David says. "It has the original brass piston rings. Engines like that were also used to power carnival games."

The Beatties also have garden tractors, and a Shaw Model T converted to a tractor in 1924. The latter was a factory-built conversion, David says. "It has a Shaw serial number rather than a Ford serial number; and ours has a shortened frame, and the front and rear axles are narrowed. There were probably just two to three dozen sold in the US, and most were kits."
