Sometime ago, I wrote you about a No. 1 that was stamped on a small boiler that was given me by the son (who is now 81) of its original owner. Your conclusion was that, the No. 1 was on the steel from the factory when it was shipped to N. & S. at Battle Creek, Well, this is a picture of that boiler restored and with a five horse WACH engine mounted on it. I have not fired it yet, but
will do so this summer. This is the boiler of the portable engine shown in the March-April 65 issue from Page 55 of ALBUM. This was a Nichols & Shepard outfit and was used near Bennington, Kansas before the turn of the century. I do not know the hp of the engine, but my guess would be about an 8 hp. I have been written concerning this picture shown in the Album, so it seems to have created considerable interest.
Do you have a special place in your heart for the good old days of life on the American farm? Do your ears perk up at the sound of an old Johnny Popper John Deere? Do your eyes widen at the sight of a vintage Stover stationary? Then Farm Collector is for you!
