I believe this engine was made by Nuttall in the mid 18th century. Formerly used at Melton Asylum in England.

I'm researching C18th English Engines and would be interested to know more about this one. Could I ask where you got your information from? No way will I ever get to Mexico to check this one out so anything you have would be appreciated. thanks

Josiah is right, we owned this engine and pumped water with at various fire rallies in the early 1990's before we sold it to Believe it or not museum
