This picture shows Grandpas Ericcson hot air engine. The engine is a 6" model, with most of it's original paint. It came from Nova Scotia and the collector who purchased it disassembled it in N.S. so he could bring it home with him. It's not much different today than when he got it.  The piece of wood is entitled "Grandpa's engine" which I carved several years ago.  The engine needs a new leather, and may make the show rounds in Canada this year.
