Came from Edgewater Steel in Oakmont, Pa. Looked as though there were many machines of this vintage still in use when the plant closed in the 1980-1990's. Many early Oliver's were represented. I have seen one other like this at Hess Woodwork (ALOHA, Chuck!) I ran it before I took it out of the plant (on rollers by hand with no help!!) Luckily there was a still operable crane outside to put it on my truck. I had to remmove the upper wheel to get it out of the room it was in. It does have a very unusual tag. It is cast bronze/brass with raised border and letters, unlike any other Oliver tag I have seen. Cast base door and what feels like an acre of table surface. This unit is for sale. 724-331-0723 Reid
