Comments:

This is my first foot powered woodworking machine purchased from a C/L ad on Aug 29, 2013. The PO stated that his parents acquired this machine from Oklahoma when he was a child, they kept it in their home for 30 years, the PO inherited it from his parents and has had it in his garage for several years.

The machine came with a typed note giving the history of the machine as being used by the "Record Breaker" Washing Machine Co. in Yale, OK circa 1900 to 1915, thus the date of 1900 for the machine, that is just my best guess on dating it.

The machine appears all original, it has a small crack in the casting on the back of the seat, but otherwise is in really good shape, the leather drive belt it came with is unfortunately broken, so I'll have to replace that.
