John Royle & Sons of New Jersey,a very early overarm router or carving machine.This machine is in very good original condition.This machine came out of the same old shop in
N.Y. city as the Pryibil scroll saw.Their are two swing out cast iron drawers under the table that were filled with steel router and carving bits.Very nice original paint and
detail work.Cast iron door on lower front covers more cast shelves for a nice storage
area.The table has adjustable built in clamp to hold work piece.I would guesss they used
this machine for sign making?
