This machine is not mine. It was spotted on Craigslist after it sold, and I am posting the seller's photo which he e-mailed me. This machine is in all likelihood a copy of the Elmer Knight 14" bandsaw (also of Portland Oregon in the mid-twenties) as it shares all proportions and details (see 2nd photo below).

It does not appear to have been cast from the same patterns.
