I'm fond of NH and Vermont made equipment. My father was born in Saint Johnsbury where this saw was made, and his parents were from nearby Danville. I got it in Ossipee, NH from the daughter of an old timer who had recently passed. I was lucky to get it when I did. It was sitting outside, and somebody had drug it to where it was sitting with a tractor. [no skids] I'm surprized they didn't break anything. It's in nice shape. I'd rather it was all original, but I got a good 2HP 1 ph motor and motor control. It's a little different than the other two on here. It has the later tables and patent date. It has a different arbor tilting mechanism than the one in Ben Threshers Mill, and a different casting of the name and patents than the one in York. Here's pictures as found. I'll get some more later. I bought it to save it, and would like to find a good home for it.
