Purchased in June 2016 in Dallas, TX. Good amount of surface rust, but overall in reasonable shape.
EDIT 12-23-2020 - correction of the serial number - originally thought 5342, but there is another number at the end, most likely #4.
The machine has a Sears tag, but the only part that seems to have had the Craftsman blue color is one of the bearing caps. Everything else is grey.
I build a base for it (bent lamination), a replica of the cast iron curved base from 1940's catalogue.
