Comments:

My Dad purchased this Bridgeport new in 1953 from Indiana Machine & Tools Sales company. It was used in in our small family machine shop until 2018. I recently brought it home to use in my garage. We're selling the shop after being in business since 1948. I enjoy all the information history and photos on this site and wanted to contribute as well.
