Breisch Associated Hired Hand By P. Harrell For Sale

[astrobob]

I have a superbly crafted Associated Hired Hand that was constructed by Peter Harrell of the P.E.I. from castings from Mr. Breisch. The workmanship is top notch and includes a buzzer box made by Peter to power the hit and miss engine. I would like to see this beautiful engine go to someone who will cherish it as much as I have for the past 10 years. Bob Schilling

It needs a bit of refurbishing and I would be willing to sell it to a HMEM member for $1400 plus shipping. I hear that they command $1700-1800 but I would rather see it cared for by someone who will appreciate the rarity and elegance of the engine.

My first thought was that you are on the wrong site. This is a site for people who build model engines I frequently see posts from members looking for raw castings, but I have yet to see anyone looking to buy an engine. Most of the members keep their favorite engines and give the others to family and friends. They make great gifts for mechanically inclined people.

Stan,
I was wondering about that ??? I guess I will just list it on EBAY and sell it there.

Thanks for the input.
