Wood-trimming machine
|
Peter Dosch |
Mount Vernon, NY |
This is the miter trimmer that became the Lion miter trimmer, still available from Pootatuck Corp. From 1899/1900 until 1931, it was manufactured by the Lion Machine Co. Thereafter, it was manufactured by two different companies—Pootatuck Corp. and Dosch Mfg. Co. Both companies had the patent date cast into the machine well into the 1950's, although the patent had expired long before. |
