What amazes me the most here is the trouble the original manufacturer went to, to produce this toy. This wasn't a cheap toy to make especially considering that there weren't any cnc machines in 1918. The fit and tolerance of the original parts were of high standard. A high end toy for the day.

It really is nuts when you think about it. Parts of the process were still probably done by hand. The only thing I can think of that would have been automatically machined would have been the gears, because at that point there were automatic gear mills.

It’s so amazing to me how the craftsman of yesteryear were able to produce things like this. That aside, it’s also an amazing use of conventional machining and CNC technology in this video.

I enjoy these most because I have always personified inanimate objects. I imagine the experience of first manufacture, the long loving relationship of the first owner, years of play and adventure, followed by the quiet retirement and eventual neglect of growing up. The sad decay and expectation of death's slow decay interrupted by the unexpected discovery by this channel's owner. The fear and uncertainty of the refurbishment process… the confusion of so much activity, and then the Pride, shock, and gratitude of the rebirth. It is this unexpected blessing of a chance at a whole new life that I imagine I can see winking back at me from the gleaming surface of the final product.
