Got this from a patternaker's shop in Allentown, Pa. Made the journey with it to it's new home in Wilmington, De. At some poing the leather belt was replaced with one that was too long. I used an automotive serpentine belt as a temporary replacement utill I can get a new leather belt. It's up and running in my shop and I'm really enjoying using it.
Thanks to Jeff for the correction of the manufacture date. It was aparently built between September 1924 and July 1925.
