This maker is one of two different companies known to have made the Wilson radial arm saw (the other being the Franklin Machine Co. of Providence, RI). The Wilson patent was granted in 1942, and the one reported example of this saw carried the patent date, which dates the saw to between 1942 and roughly 1960.
