[QUOTE="Jason Pferdeort, post: 2758887, member: 5630"]Hello, What you have their is a hot air engine made by Charlton Davis. I'm not sure if the wick is still present with your engine but as you will see from the photos below yours is missing the black dome "oven". If it is working I would think it would sell for $50 (give or take). One seller stated that they used a propane torch to test the engine. I have included some screen shots from my research. Also, here is a video of a hot air engine in action (made by Pheonix).
