Gebrüder Bing ca. 1910 #130/116 Vertical Steam Engine Stehende Dampfmaschine 21″

This is a really interesting ca. 1910 #130/116 vertical steam engine that was manufactured by Gebrüder Bing of Nuremberg, Germany. 

This is the largest steam engine that Bing produced. This does have multiple fixes in all the delicate spots from use (please see photos), it displays well and is hard-to-find.

Our example piece is in good condition. This piece shows the usual patina, fading, dust, chips, scuffs, surface rust, scratches, and wear that are to be expected from age and play. It is approximately 6″ L x 6” W x 20 ¾” H. We encourage you to examine the photographs to further determine condition and quality.

 

 

A brief history of Bing Corp./Gebrüder Bing: 

 

Bing Corp. New York City, New York 

Operated between 1924 – 1935

Founded by: John Bing

Bing Corp. was a spin-off of their German firm, Gebrüder Bing. They mainly served as a jobber for their parent firm with mechanical boats, zeppelins, and steam engines.

 

Gebrüder Bing Nuremberg, Germany 

Operated between 1866 – 1933

Founded by: Brothers Ignatius and Adolph Bing

Gebrüder Bing specialized in a wide range of spring-driven toys, cars, buses, and boats. Perhaps its biggest coup was a line of trains initiated in 1882. Bing went under during the crash of 1929; Karl Bub acquired the toy trains division and Fleischmann the toy boats.
