Miter trimmers, very similar to those from Lion Machine Co. of Bridgeport, CT, and later made by Pootatuck Corp.. According to an employee at Pootatuck, the miter trimmer was invented by a pair of cousins in 1899, and they started separate companies making the same design. Dosch apparently ceased production in the late 1970s when the owner died.

For more detailed history on this maker, see the text accompanying a Photo Index entry of an early Dosch miter trimmer.
