Years ago, I came across this at a yard sale. Guy said I could have it for a buck if I could tell him what it was :-) Pretty much in the same condition as I got it, minimal rust, about 75% of the original japanning left. It’s shown in the 1923 Disston catalog (http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/detail.aspx?id=22210) but it was not a new item for that year.
