Comments:

WW2 era with oilboard serial # tag, broken off and faded but amazingly still with the machine, as rescued from a scrap yard. Other wartime features include much use of cast iron instead of aluminum needed for the war effort. Cast iron wheels, cast iron faucet knobs for the table, steel badge on the top cover typically rusted and faded away. This came on a cast iron stand and with a cast iron belt guard but I have used those to upgrade a 1939 saw. This will be my metal cutter and it went on the nice welded stand with decal still intact from the '39. I have added the caster set, the later steel belt guard and a 50s era Century motor.
