Key to Links for Patent Information

USPTO = U.S. Patent Office . Images of the actual patent can be viewed on the U.S. Patent Office web site but a special TIFF viewer must be installed with your browser in order properly work. More information on how to configure your computer to view these patents can be found at TIFF image Viewers for Patent Images.
DATAMP = Directory of American Tool And Machinery Patents . A sister site to VintageMachinery.org with information on patents related to machinery and tools. A much easier user interface than the USPTO's for finding information on machinery patents.

Patent Number Date Title Name City Description
61,079 Jan. 08, 1867 Improvement in sawing machines H. R. Huling Roxbury, MA An ad in the 1870 Boston Directory for "Marston's self-feeding hand power splitting saw, patented Jan. 8, 1867, Manufactured by J. M. Marston, Carpenter and Builder, 6 Taber St. (near Washinton), Boston Highlands, Mass., formerly Union St., Roxbury. Roland F. Fead, Agent."

88,040 Mar. 23, 1869 Improvement in mechanical movement Henry R. Huling Boston, MA This treadle-lathe mechanism uses a pair of elliptical gears, and by moving the attachment point of the treadle the speed ratio between treadle and lathe can be varied.

D6,935 Oct. 07, 1873 Design for frame for machines John M. Marston Boston, MA This design for a tablesaw frame was produced by the firm of Reed & Bowen, and from about 1872, by J. M. Marston himself. There seems to have been an overlap of a couple of years between the two makers; they were both small firms and perhaps shared castings.
401,894 Apr. 23, 1889 Table-top for circular saws Irving G. Marston Boston, MA The assignee is still in business making non-metallic washers. They claim to have been in business since 1844. We have no evidence that they ever manufactured a tablesaw. This saw is seen in an 1893 J. M. Marston catalog and the illustration clearly shows the name "J. M. Marston & Co." cast into the saw's base.
486,874 Nov. 29, 1892 Cutting-head Warren B. Huther Rochester, NY Seen on Huther Bros. Saw Mfg. Co. dado head. Also seen in a catalog from J. M. Marston & Co., and in the 1914 catalog from Baldwin, Tuthill & Bolton, where an image on page 188 shows heads bearing this patent date and an image on page 211 shows heads with both this date and that for patent 964,602.
