Comments:
Purchased by my grandfather Joseph C Mundschau on 11/21/1950 from W. A. Voell Machinery. Voell had a facility in Waukesha, but I don't know for sure that he got it from that location.

He was a mechanic and machinist who lived in Dousman, WI. I believe he was a mechanic for the Oconomowoc Fire Department. Grandpa died in 1962 and my dad kept the lathe (but did not make extensive use of it) until they sold their house in 2018.
