I picked up this little guy from a gentleman in Rhode Island in the spring of 2015. It was smaller than I was expecting because the last one I had was a freestanding Oliver #3 with a big captains wheel. This piece is interesting because you can see the Fox name also in the casting and for the handle. The handle appears to be brass or bronze which was a surprise to me. As with others the angle marks are scribed into the top. They are barely visible in picture 3. I think it is a 4-A based on the catalog and the slot in the center of the table presumably for carrying it.
