The previous owner bought this from a yard sale in the Finger Lakes region of New York. I bought it from him in East Lansing, MI. This machine shows up in the 1949 and 1950 general line catalogs for Montgomery Wards. It doesn't appear in the immediately preceding (1943) or succeeding (1952) catalogs currently posted on VM.org.

It's a handy little machine - easy to equip with stock sandpaper sheets on the drum, though the mechanism is a bit finicky. The table height is adjusted by the cam lever see in the third photo below. You set the table height such that the paper just grazes the board as you pass it along the table.

Update: This machine has been passed along to a new owner.
