Large Powell 2 Inch Steam Whistle Valve Railroad Locomotive Size Traction Engine

Description

This is a lightly used, almost like new antique large Powell 2" Bronze or Brass Steam Whistle Valve.  It reads POWELL UNION DISC 2 on both sides of the valve.  It weighs just over 12 pounds and has 2 inch threads on both ends.  This valve is very large and possibly suitable for locomotive whistles and larger whistles for ships, factories, etc.  It is in excellent condition overall.  I tested it on 100 psi of air and the valve seated perfectly tight, no leaks at all.  It appears to have been used very little, but is slightly used.
There are no wrench marks, dents, damage, or repairs anywhere on this valve.
You will not find a nicer 2 inch whistle valve unless it is brand new or new old stock, NOS.
Please look closely at the photos as this is exactly what you will be buying.
According to my Powell catalog, this particular valve is a Bronze Union Vulcanized Composition Disc Whistle Valve and can be used on air or steam depending on which disc is in it.  I do not know which disc this one has, however.   I assume the pressure rating would be 150 as stated in the catalog.  This valve is not marked as to the pressure rating.
It would be great for display in a railroadiana or maritime collection as a museum piece, or to possibly use on a steam locomotive, factory, sawmill boiler, ship, tugboat, riverboat paddle wheeler, steamship, steamboat, steam traction engine or steam tractor, amusement park railroad train, etc.
No reserve, very low starting bid, and only for USPS priority shipping, packaging, and insurance in the USA.  Good luck bidders!
