What you have is a Falk hot air engine.
I don't have any documentation on these, but I think that they were produced in the early 1900's.
These are relatively rare and yours appear to be in excellent condition, but I have no idea what it's value would be.

I hope this helps some.
Jerry

I would place the value on it about 650.00 to 750.00 based on Ebay sales in the past year. I would insure it for 1,000 bucks!-----------------

yes, they are worth quite a pretty penny. John O'rear is a friend of mine and can do accurate appraisal's for a small fee. http://johno.myiglou.com/steammain.html

That's a J Falk hot air (stirling) engine ca;1920's
Prices have declined over last couple of years but still worth $600-900
