Comments:
Bought from local owner through Kijiji (similar to Craigslist) whose father used it up until last year. Suspect serial number removed when painted some time ago. Original paint was gray. Base/stand is not original. Bearing lube cups were dry and dirty. Needs a good cleaning. Measures 6.5" over gap, 5 inches over ways. Ways are 5 inches wide. Various accessories and turning chisels (Marples, Henry Taylor, and foreign) came with it. I will photo and upload when cleaned up and I know what to call each of them. Date is approximate, based on what I infer from looking at old catalogs and brochures.
