New ones are cheap enough from BOSS and from other suppliers , if you do a quick google . It's not worth bothering with other people's shagged out cast offs . If the valve is not going to be seen , then go for a modern ball valve , especially on an injector steam feed . The plating soon comes off with a power wire brush , to expose the bronze , and the handles can be replaced with something in keeping .

No , but they are a better valve for an injector steam supply , allowing an instant pickup and shut off . Originally I note that the drawings for my engine show plug cocks for this job , again an on / off valve . These would eventually have deteriorated , and then been replaced by globe valves , modern ball valves not being invented .
