Comments:

This saw was purchased in 1968 by me and has been in use since that time. Don't know any prior history of the machine. From the looks of other Wallace bandsaws of the time and the type of guides, thickness of table, I believe it to be from the early 1920s. Patent on the guides is 1921. The serial number on the machine is the same as the serial number on the motor. The motor is a GE 1800rpm, 120/220 volt, single phase.
