Crescent flat-belt mortiser. Couldn't find the serial number on it, but a patent date of some time in 1923 stamped into the left top surface of the table. It's got a 1-1/2 hp 3 ph motor on it, with a leather flat belt. The machine is operational. Front clamp has been repaired, but other than that it looks like there has been no other damage in it's life. This machine is in Jamie Becker's cabinet shop in Godfrey IL.
