This comes from a cabinet shop in Sweden that opened in 1902 and closed down in 1930's. After a lot of research into robinson machines I have finally identified it as a Improved General Jointer. The problem to identify it is that it's missing most of the extra equipment and have most likely been used as a rip saw in the Swedish shop.
In a email conversation with a museum curator I was told that this particular model is from the 1850's as the in and out feed rollers where removed on later models. It appears in the 1873 catalog on this site where it looks to have the dater of 1862 and the catalog number of KKK (yep)
