Comments:

Acquired at a farm auction in Claflin, KS in May of 2023. The farm was a third generation farm and the PO believed the saw was likely purchased by his grand father in the 30s. As of this posting, there are no other examples of this machine in the registry. As far as I can tell, it first appears in the 1932 JD Wallace general line catalog. This seems to fit with the PO’s recollection of his grandfather purchasing it in the 30s.
