This is not my Filer.
Found this on a forum discussion of another website and knew it was not represented in the Photo Index.
This is a portion of an excerpt from that discussion:

This die filer is one of the very early Oliver models, most likely from the 1920's. The styling of the Oliver Instrument Co. nameplate is one clue to the age. That's an old one.
Oliver made many different models of die filers over about 100 years. I call that one the Oliver/Butterfly, and there are some mysteries about its origins. There's another company called Harvey that made a die filer called the Butterfly, from about the 1920's up into the 1940's. The very early Olivers and the Butterflys are very close to identical in design and construction.
