Comments:
This machine was brought(or bought)to Auburn, AL and set up by J. A. Cullers in his shop shop near the intersection of Gay and Samford Ave in Auburn. His shop was cleared out and auctioned in the 1980's and the equipment was purchased by Husky Kirkwood of Gold Hill, AL. He later suffered from buyers remorse and offered the equipment to Walter Clement of Notasulga, AL. Walter and a friend purchased the equipment and moved it to it's present location now owned by me.
There is also an old photograph of this machine in use in the AU shop that was in the basement of Langdon Hall.

It was painted maroon and pinstriped by Mr. Clement and is overdue for a touch-up.
