Comments:

This machine is in a pottery studio in Dallas, and the owner is looking to sell it. He got the machine with the studio, which used to be part of a museum. The 8" version of this jointer first appeared in the 1912 catalog. It looks pretty dirty, but that's mostly clay splatters, not rust.
The jointer has been converted to pillow blocks and with a v-belt pulley. There may be a fence available. Head is round, but the pictures aren't clear whether it is a clamshell type or the wedged-blade type (roughly similar to modern jointers). No guard, but these didn't come with one.
