Mid 1930's Craftsman (Walker Turner) jointer. I acquired this directly from my mother's father, who was the original owner. I'm hoping someone here can let me know what model this is ... with the combination of the fence design and the mounting base it is attached to, I haven't been able to find any other jointers that look like this. I also have my grandfather's table saw and drill press from the mid-1930's and will post photos of those too when I can. Any info or data you could share with me about what this is, I'd be very appreciative.
