Comments:

This machine was apparently originally re-sold by a New York company called Olney & Warrin, per the attached metal tag. It was used for years in a Central New York State factory, and has been unusually well cared for. It was advertised for sale in a classified ad and purchased near Syracuse, NY. It has a replacement round cutterhead made by Tawney Co., patented by F. Stutzman in 1913. It has been converted to a 5 HP 220v single-phase Leeson motor.
