Comments:
Purchased at auction in 2009 this was a true barn find. It was used by a Berks County PA farmer who was helping with "on the farm war" production during WW2. It saw little use after the war and was essentially in storage until the auction. It only needed a light cleaning and a new cord to put it to work. One nice feature is that it can use standard 10-12" hand hacksaw blades or standard 1" X 12" power hacksaw blades. The "HB" designation indicates it is a bench model and was sold without a leg set.
