EDITED May 2016. Another machine found locally is identical to this saw, with a pristine machine tag showing it as a Curle Saw Trimmer manufactured by Curle Manufacturing Company of San Francisco. So this entry is now updated for accuracy.

This printer's trim saw is believed to be a Miller Saw-Trimmer, circa pre-WW1. Although it has no identifying marks, it is similar to the one pictured in this advertisement from 1911.

It works as is, but is still sitting in the restoration queue. The sliding table works fine, as do the blade-raising lever and the table openings to access blade changes. It is believed to be missing a part that mates perpendicular to the miter gauge to work as a fence.
