This band saw was found on CL. There is already one photo entry for it, but I am adding a second set so we can have some additional views of it. (This is the only one of its kind!)

The St. Paul Vocational School, St. Paul Minnesota, had vocational programs in a wide variety of trade/skills including pattern making and foundry. This band saw is assumed to have been a class project. It strongly appears that they used a 1920s era Crescent band saw as their model, downsizing it to 12" wheels. As the class was pattern making and foundry, and not industrial design, they ended up with the excessively tall and overbuilt upper wheel height adjustment (for a 12" saw)!
