I purchased this planer from this site and will be adding it to our vintage shop. It has "Little Giant" cast in the base spreaders and "W.A Heath Binghamton NY 1880" in the chip guard I'm not sure of the connection. Its in decent shape and 99% complete. I really like the fact it has a 3 knife cutter head verses 2 plus it came with 1 NOS set of knives. The lower counter shaft had brackets made to accept modern bearings but nothing was altered so new babbits will be poured to restore it to original.
