Comments:

This ca. 1880 moulder is in the collection of the Kings Landing historic village museum in Prince William, New Brunswick. Thanks to Ruth Murgatroyd of Kings Landing Corporation for providing these photos to us.

This moulder was, until fairly recently, in use by Kings Landing, helping to maintain the houses on site. The factory was deemed unsafe so they no longer use the equipment. They are now building an exhibit that will include these machines.

Comments: Plaque on top is "A. R. Williams Machinery Co. / Head Office / 5397 Front St. / Toronto, Ont." This machine must have been re-sold at some point in its life as A. R. Williams and Cant Gourlay were not in business at the same time.
