Comments:
This came from a small cabinet shop in South Boston that was closing due to the building being sold. This is an early model of this stroke sander. I'm assuming its from the late 1940's or early 1950's as that is the time frame of most of the other machinery that was in this shop and when the P.O. told me his father and uncle started the business. I think B-C first offered this sander in 1936 based on what I found in the B-C catalogs on this site. I'll get some better photos as some point.
