The object presents a complete cross-section of:
- the piston and cylinder system,
- the crank mechanism,
- the gear transmission with a hand crank,
- valves with flow direction markings (coloured elements).
The whole is mounted on a solid, wooden display base, stable and aesthetically finished. Visible signs of use, patina and minor paint losses are authentic and desirable – they emphasise the technical, industrial character of the object.

Ideal as:
- a sculpture for industrial/loft/modern interiors,
- a decorative element for a study, showroom or creative office,
- a collector's item for lovers of technology, mechanics and industrial design.

Condition:
Good, original.
Mechanism preserved, elements complete, visible natural signs of age and use. The object is sold as a decorative and display item, not as a functional device.
Material:
- metal (castings, steel, aluminium),
- wood (base). See less
