A model gauge theory, previously introduced by Streater, is analyzed using C*/sup -/algebra techniques. The model has linear equations of motion (quadratic Hamiltonian) and hence essentially trivial dynamics. Nevertheless it exhibits a spontaneously broken global gauge symmetry and a massive gauge field. A quantization procedure is presented which does not use an indefinite metric. The relationship between the field algebra and algebra of observables is investigated.
