Comments:
Acquired from a farm near the London, Ontario, airport in summer 2010. I was out there purchasing a collection of railroad material, and asked the owner if he had any wood or metal working machinery. Got this thrown in with the railroad stuff. Seems to be in excellent condition, only 1 small weld repair to one of the legs. Appears to have original green and black paint under the dirt, and original wood spring. Came with only the 1/4" chisel you see in it.
