Ives clockwork floor train locomotive
Posted by Ivanel on Saturday, August 2, 2014 6:14 PM

My grandfather had an Ives cast iron clockwork floor train. All that's left is the clockwork mechanism from it. Can anyone help me locate someone who has an Ives clockwork floor train locomotive they would sell? I'm not solely interested in a train to match my grandfather's, but I want it to be an Ives. (No interest in a train set, just a locomotive.) I believe his was made during the decade of the 1880's. Does anyone have suggestions on helping to find such a locomotive? I could send a photo of the mechanism to someone, for reference, if needed.
