These pictures were seen on the local kijiji and are reproduced here with the kind permission of the seller. The seller says, "It was purchased from a man in Thornton and we used it to build our stackwall barn. It was an experience we'll never forget."

The mortiser is unmarked and was identified by comparing with patents and known examples.
