Comments:

Bought at engine show flea market, in the rain, 20 years ago. It was really rusty, but amazingly complete. I was trying to talk myself out of taking another project home, but as you can see, I couldn't find a good reason to leave it there. The seller didn't want to take it back with him, either. I started working on it right away, then it became a table for other projects. Recently re-discovered it and thought, "gee, this is kind of cool", finished it up, tried to find some information on it. I haven't been able to find anything! Maybe someone has an old ad from Martin Machine Co. of New York, or knows something about them? This was NOT made by Martin Machinery of Germany.
