WEEDEN NAMED STEAM ENGINES

Weeden Manufacturing named several engines as well as some of the steamboats. The "Cornish Beam Engine", "The Favorite", The Mighty-Mite" and the famous "Big Giant" are some examples.

Steamboats were a mix of names and numbers, numbers only and names only such as the "Water Witch" and the "Porter".

As models sell on Ebay I am now selecting some and listing the price they sold for, since many factors come into play with items up for auction this can only be taken as a very general value. I will try to give a basic description of the condition from the information on the listing.
