Comments:

An older gentleman that my wife worked with at the Goodall Lumber and Supply store in New Carlisle, Ohio gave this to me.
It has "Patented Jan 27 1931" cast into the end of the fence. The bed is 20" long. It matches the drawings in the 1931 thru 1938 Delta catalogs, as far as I can tell. The table appears to have been for the jointer-table saw combination that was offered by Delta.
I don't know whether to recondition it or leave it as is. It is in good shape and usable as you see it.
