Came from Suddreth & Fletcher, Lenor, NC

Gary Suddreth was the man at S&F, and was an ace builder for the busy NC furniture industry post war in the boom years.
He had a nice shop above Lenor.
This would have been a machine his shop rebuilt for resale while the furniture industry was going strong and good American made Greenlee 532 Single End Tenoners were probably worth $5,000 or more. See the little sticker - "Rework #4511" ?
He later built low speed grinders for wood waste grinding, last I was down he had a street rod shop.
