This is a Siebring steam boiler manufactured by Siebring Manufacturing Company, George, Iowa, about 15 years ago. I rigged this outfit by mounting 2 model engines on it. The one with the large flywheel was made by a Peter Christiansen, a blacksmith at Cat

Route 2, Box 64A, Topeka, Ind. 46571

On Wednesday afternoon, February 22, 1882, the 20-Horse-Power
engine owned and used by Henry Troyer and George Stutzman, at their
saw-mill, on the farm of David Helmuth near Carlisle, Ohio,
exploded killing five men. (So stated the Iron-Valley Reporter
Extra, of Canal Dover, Ohio, dated Monday, February 27, 1882.)
