About Us

Seller Steamfiend

Is Now

Got_Steam

Over the years, my brother Steamfiend and I partnered to bring wonderful treasurers for collectors of Vintage Cars, Trains, Firetrucks, Farm Equipment and much more.

Steamfiend was the one who dug up these wonderful treasurers. He had an amazing knowledge of many fields. I was in the background working up the listings to post on .

Steamfiend passed away in 2010, leaving many wonderful treasures in his \" room\". I will attempt to continue bringing to his followers, those wonderful items from his \" room\".

As a \"one-person show\" it will be a slower pace than our previous listings, but keep following as I bring you these wonderful items.

My brother\'s knowledge will be greatly missed by myself and many of his friends,

We will have lots of wonderful literature, unique vintage car accessories, magnetos etc.

I am amazed by what I find and you will be too.

Watch for Steamfiend\'s and Got_Steam
