Yes, now you can own this original, one-of-a-kind piece of 19th century American history, made available by the U.S. Patent Model Foundation, exclusively through The Times. All was not romance and adventure aboard a 19th century train, as hot soot and burning cinders spewed forth from mighty locomotive smoke stacks, raining down on hapless passengers. To extinguish sparks that might otherwise be emitted from smoke stacks, this spark arrester came to the aid. It used a tank of water above the locomotive, which included a wind wheel to direct a spray to drench the hot cinders and an escape pipe to direct the hot smoke away from the engine through an elaborate system that controlled the amount of water with buckets and pulleys. This fabulous model, with its intriguing shape, is a piece of truly exciting railroad nostalgia. Submitted to the U.S. Patent Office by its hopeful inventor, this is the actual model that examiners relied upon to award this patent more than 130 years ago. All U.S. Patent models are from 1836 to the 1890s, and are approximately 12 or less inches square. Each of these rare artifacts is guaranteed authentic. As with any historical items from the 1800s, signs of age and wear are common and are considered part of a models charm. Each model comes with its original patent office tag or a replica tag, plus a copy of its patent drawings and papers printed on parchment, a certificate of authenticity, and a fascinating brochure about patent model history.

Yes, now you can own this original, one-of-a-kind piece of 19th century American history, made available by the U.S. Patent Model Foundation, exclusively through The Times. Made of heavy wood and metal, this handsome model is a symbol of early American railroads. The railroads relied heavily on devices called nut-locks, which were used to secure sections of tracks. They had to be strong, reliable and able to withstand the constant abuse from heavy engines that rode the rails. This patented nut-lock was designed to save time and money as it was easier to install and simple to adjust. And, it cost less to make due to its special design and construction. This model is beautiful to display, and a nostalgic reminder of how our countrys first transportation system was built.

In addition to being a very intriguing model of a mechanism to propel hand-carts forward or back, this model also has the distinction of surviving the historic fire that swept through the U.S. Patent Office in September 1877. That fire obliterated a vast number of patent models and irreplaceable drawings and documents. Models that escaped destruction were mostly those made of metal such as this one. After the fire, special patent tags were issued to note that the model had survived the catastrophic event. Therefore, this wonderful hand-cart model, with its fascinating gears, levers and wheels, has an added historic cachet as displayed on the reverse of its patent tag which states it was taken from the debris of the 1877 fire.
