Comments:

Local find, from right here in Arizona. The guy I got it from bought it from a local commercial furniture manufacturer. This was part of a Model A Planing Mill Special No. 187
It can be seen in the # 37 catalog posted on this site. It looks like the base was made to make it a free standing machine.

Comments: Here it is, or maybe a slightly earlier version of it. It was driven by a belt from under the machine, and later converted to the overhead motor.
