Ernst Plank Antique Vulkan Brass Train *SOLD*

Ernst Plank Antique Vulkan Brass Train For Sale

There is a gravitas to holding this amazing brass steam engine.  It has lost parts, it has wrinkles, it is darkened, but it is also a 120-130 year old antique!  This primitive steam engine was named “Vulkan”

The E.P. badge affixed in the front stands for the scientific toy and instrument maker Ernst Plank.  The toys and products made by this 19th century (and early 20th) are highly sought after.  They give a decorator heart palpitations due to their original steam-punk style.  Scientists and Engineers prize their construction quality.  Toy Collectors appreciate the E.P. detail and lust over older catalogs.

Our train’s pistons have compression.  The spirit burners are no longer present, but the tank is there and held by two clips.  The chimney needs to be straightened.  The whistle is present with its crude form.

The rear platform is hand painted dark green and made of tin.  The rail has a darker blue black hue.  The burner and lower platform has the dark green.
