Essex Hot Air Engine. This is a great early hot air engine. This engine is in excellent mechanical condition it is complete with no damaged or missing parts. The moving parts of this engine seem to have very little wear and it turns over very smoothly. I have never tried running the engine but based on experience with other antique hot air engines I have no doubt that it would start and run nicely if hooked up to a proper fuel source. This engine is just about as nice of an untouched original Essex as you are likely to find. The engine has never been cleaned in any way and retains a great deal of its original silver paint. One of the coolest features of this engine the original period wood base nicely carved with the words Hot Air Engine, and name Hilbert Doepp Dec 25 1908. This engine is set up to run on natural gas and has part of the original plumbing including a fancy brass gas valve still attached. One the top side of the engine there is the name Essex and the patent date of March 24 1903. These engines were designed to run a wide variety of small equipment.
