Kelly & Jones 200 Excelsior 1.25" High Pressure Brass Valve, Circa 1894

Description

Kelly & Jones 200 Excelsior 1.25" High Pressure Brass Valve, Circa 1894. Condition is "Acceptable".  I found this valve about 40 years ago on Red Fish Island which is located off Kemah, Texas in Galveston Bay.  The shifting tides uncovered the remains of a boat of about 40 feet.  The valve was attached to what was left of the bottom.  I was able to dislodge it, and it has been in my shop ever since.  Some online literature says it is/was for high pressure (200/300 psi superheated steam) and it was extensively used for steam plants and the US Navy.  Maybe it was re-purposed on a fishing boat as there are no such things around Kemah?  Obviously it is sold "as is" with no warranty, but I think a collector would be okay with this.  It will be shipped USPS Priority Mail at the buyer's expense.
