We've seen a couple of band saws referenced here and there with a Frank E Jones name plate affixed. I did an online search for as many examples as I could find to fill out our knowledge base somewhat.

This saw was posted for sale in the classified ads area on the Machine Junkie website by member "JayA" of Southern California in 2010. The comment section said: "B-24 bandsaw for sale. Machine is badged "Frank E Jones" who was a machinery seller in Los Angeles back in the day. Any ideas on the manufacturer?" (It took some sleuthing using Google Images to find the photos as the links in the ad had since gone dead.) See: http://www.machinejunkie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=709&sid=4267c20d97f85b492d3153d108a11afc

These photos give us a few additional details as to the construction of these saws.

True manufacturer of these saws is not known. Some OWWM and VM members have suggested that it may have been Rodgers Machinery Manufacturing Co. (aka Rodgers Production Machinery) also of Los Angeles.
