Comments:
This model of jointer is already represented in the Photo Index, but this particular example is in excellent condition. If you'd like to buy it, look for listing JT-280256 on the Ex-Factory site, http://www.exfactory.com/
They list it as '12" width capacity; cast iron base with 86" table; Babbitt bearing; 3 HP Fairbanks Morse motor; triple v-belt drive; custom wood fence'. The motor is 220/240 VAC 3 phase.

The ca. 1890 date is a bit of a wild guess; it could easily be 20 years either way. Ex-Factory lists it as ca. 1900.

Thanks to Ex-Factory for giving permission to post these pictures here.
