Craftsman Gear Indexing Miter Gauge. I found it in the 1935 and 1936 Sears catalog. In the 1935 catalog it says "At Last An Accurate Gear-Indexing Miter-Gauge at Rock Bottom Price". It was catalog number 9P7229 for $2.50. It has detents at 45,60,75&90 degrees left or right. It is the same as the Walker Turner miter gauge posted by Lee Snoeyenbus on the mother ship accept it has Craftsman cast in the top instead of Driver. The patent was issued on August 13, 1935 to WF Ocenasek and assigned to Walker Turner. I found it the 1934, 1937 & 1938 Walker Turner catalog. In the 1934 catalog it is marked as new. Thanks to Brian Kachadurian and Joe Wells for posting their Craftsman catalog for reference.
