This slightly sorry little disassembled and ‘beautified’ planer was used in the millwright’s shop in the historic woolen mills in Harrisville NH. The current owner’s father acquired it when the mills closed in the 70’s, disassembled her, painted her yellow, and never touched her again. It was moved one more time when the owner’s father passed away. Who knows if all the parts stayed together! It can be mine for $200 which, given its history, I’d jump on in a second If I didn’t already have its twin, in original surface, which was used less than a mile up stream.

Comments: Two yellow crates full of parts. The blades have several grinds left in them but several of the cutter head bolts are iffy.
