Description
...This eagle, "Old Abe", was the trade mark of the J.I. Case Threshing Machine Company for 104 years (1865-1969).
...found this 100+ year old steam tractor parked among obsolete, no longer used mining machinery at the Mollie Kathleen gold mine in Cripple Creek, Colorado.
...they built these old machines to last! I am sure with a fresh boiler inspection, a load of coal/water and a lot of grease it would run today.
