Here’s a larger brass oiler manufactured by Anker-Holth of Chicago. There are a couple of nicks in the 3/8 NPT thread it installs with. They will dress out with a small file and work fine.

Vintage Empire Metal Ware B33 Hit & Miss Steam Engine Store Display Window Model

MODEL B-33 ELECTRIC HIT & MISS STEAM ENGINE. When I was a kid, we had these engines. The poorer kids had the manually-fired ones with charcoal or sterno-fired boilers, and we resented the rich kids who had the electrically-heated boilers that they could just plug in. Ours were messy, and you had to wait for the boiler to get “fired-up”. So, when I first bought this engine (along with a few peripheral parts-see my other auctions) I was mystified when I examined it. There WAS no “boiler”! When I looked it up on a collector site, they said that this model was likely made as a hobby-shop or toy store window dressing, pumping away and spinning various tools continuously, without having to keep an eye on boiler water levels. With a transformer a several sets of points, it chugs away just like a “real” steam engine. The cast-iron base measures 7″ by 11″. This engine DOES work, with a little “help” to get it moving. It needs a good cleaning of all it’s parts (including the points) and a good lubing to run trouble-free.
