Comments:

My grandfather and father were machinists. They bought this shaper used sometime prior to 1962. It has been in a garage for the past 59 years. Additional badge " "W. E. Shipley, METAL WORKING MACHINERY, PHILADELPHIA, PENNA."

[ADMIN NOTE 2021-05-19: The "B. G." probably stands for "Back Geared". The back gears were controlled by a lever at the right rear of the machine (i.e., on the side not shown in these photographs). Cincinnati's back gearing provided 8 different ram speeds.

The "date of manufacture was roughly estimated as 1908 based on sparse information on the company's early products plus what serial-number data we have.]
