Equipment

Condition
#4 Fair
Has visible flaws to the naked eye. Runs fine, but could use mechanical or cosmetic attention.
Believed to be the final surviving White steamer. Poor quality old paint over rust pits on the rear fenders. Crude brush chip touchups. Some replaced upholstery, other poor repairs to some original trim. Newer top. Highly original but the catalog notes it was "as purchased [by the present owner] ... in ready to use order." Today it needs everything.
Market commentary
The new owner is taking on an ultimately rewarding steam car project, but one that has many and manifest needs, not least that it is uncertain when the boiler last built significant pressure. The bidders were understandably reluctant to commit to big numbers and this post-block negotiated sale is a reasonable compromise.
