This machine resides in the City Museum, a unique art/activity/architecture museum in downtown St Louis. It is built into the railing of a balcony next to a stairwell, where visitors are encouraged to spin the wheels as they go by. The City Museum is quite a sight, full of stuff to crawl around in, pick up and examine, etc with modern art, old ornaments rescued from buildings,etc. Note the two stone ram's heads sitting on the saw's unusual rail casting. The casting reads "P. Pryibil 461 to 467 W 40 St New York Pat Aug 28 1866 & Jan 73".
