This planer is cast "Humphrey Machine Co. Keene New Hampshire" on the chip deflector and is one of only a handful of Humphrey machines which I know to exist. It has seen several user modifications over the years most notable of which was the repositioning of the table height adjusting wheel. Using wood bearings a shaft was fastened to the planers upper frame. Motion is transmitted to the original lower shaft by means of bicycle sprockets and chain.
