Saw was bought at an auction in Waterloo, NY. auctioneer said it was from an estate in the area. I brought it home, cleaned and oiled it, she ran quite well. Bonus having an original motor. The red is original, the gray looks like it might be coat number 2. It looks like the saw was painted while attached to the base. I don't know if that would have been the procedure back then.

I had plans to refurbish it and leave the paint as it, but shortly after acquiring it several other projects presented themselves. To make space for them, I sold the saw.
