As models sell on Ebay I am now listing the selling price, 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. A range of
prices will be selected, to save space duplicate prices, within a few dollars, for similar engines will not be listed.

WEEDEN No.14 STEAM ENGINE The Number 14, manufactured from the late 1800's up to 1940, was Weedens most popular engine. It has a six legged table style cast iron frame, a design shared with two other similar electrically heated models, the No.647 and No.648. The No.14's distinctive boiler, with the four rows of rivets, is heated with a rectangular shaped three wick burner. The engine may be reversed simply by stopping it and flipping the flywheel in the other direction.

The 1920's models had the name embossed on the boiler and a brighter red base. The whistle and sight glass fittings were now brass. In the 1930's the boiler had a decal instead of the embossed name and almost an orange colored base. All models came with simulated govenor which is often missing on units offered for sale today. Engine is 6 1/4" high, base is 6" X 5 3/4".
