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
X6,768	Sep. 28, 1831	Horse power	George Page	Keene, NH	Of interest because Page patented the mortising machine that was the first product of J. A. Fay & Co.
X7,484	Mar. 13, 1833	Mortising machine	George Page	Keene, NH	The patent that was the genesis of what became the largest woodworking machinery maker in its day: J. A. Fay & Co. Inventor Page was apparently not born in Keene. He married Sophia Nye on 1821-10-17.
X7,714	Aug. 14, 1833	Cutting and clearing chisel	George Page	Keene, NH	"The cutting and clearing chisel is designed to be used principally in machines for making mortises, when the mortise is to be made in hard wood, one hole should be bored, the diameter which must be the same as the width of the chisel, and the mortise is to be cut to the left or right..." This chisel was presumably designed to fit Page's mortising machine, patent 7,560.
X8,957	Jul. 07, 1835	Improved cutting and clearing chisel	George Page	Keene, NH	Wings on the side edges which are not more than 1/16 inch thick and between 2 to 5/16 inches wide, sharpened on the bottom to form the edge of the mortise. Primarily designed for mortising machines, it may also be used by hand.
X9,505	Mar. 13, 1836	Mortising in wood	George Page	Keene, NH	Only the patent specification is available; the drawing was lost in a fire at the Patent Office.
X9,513	Mar. 18, 1836	Mortising machine	George Page	Keene, NH	Only the patent specification is available; the drawing was lost in a fire at the Patent Office.
X9,528	Mar. 21, 1836	Mortising timber	George Page	Keene, NH	Only the patent specification is available; the drawing was lost in a fire at the Patent Office.
82	Nov. 17, 1836	Spiral bit with countersink for setting screws	George Page	Keene, NH	There is no patent drawing available. An example of this bit turned up in 2016 on eBay. It is marked "G. PAGE PATENT". Before this patent was issued the inventor had a business, Page & Co., that manufactured his patent mortising machine, but he had sold that business before he invented this countersinking drill bit.
730	May. 08, 1838	Geared drill stock	George Page	Keene, NH	From Chuck Zitur's web page, this patent for a "Geared drill stock" is for a "breast drill with a single pinion gear and an additional friction roller which bears against the smooth inner top side of the main gear resulting in less wear to the gears." This patent is the earliest American patent for a geared drill, although the patent specification says that it consists of improvements to designs "that have heretofore been employed." The inventor had earlier patents for a mortising machine and a combination bit-and-countersink - patent 7,484 and patent 82, respectively. The former patent was the starting point of what became the largest woodworking machinery maker in the world, J. A. Fay & Co., although George Page himself played little or no role in that company. There was another woodworking machinery inventor named George Page, who lived in Baltimore. While it is possible that they are one and the same person, the most likely scenario is that they were two separate people. See patent 2,174, patent 10,394 and patent 84,937.
993	Oct. 26, 1838	Machine for excavating and embanking ditches	George Page	Keene, NH	Of some interest because the inventor also held an important mortising-machine patent. See patents 7,484 and 82.
