Iola Planing Mill table saw. The saw had no name cast on it, but [i'm going on memory] the fence had Hall & Brown in small letters cast on it. Note: The mill was dismantled and put in storage 14 years ago to be set up in living history museum and is languishing in warehouse to this day. The cast iron table raises and lowers and with original top size and fence style had only a 12" width rip capacity. We added the wooden top extension. The miter guage and fence adjustment slots are dovetailed. As an introduction to vintage w.w. machines, this was our beast. Have never found a catalog picture of this saw and am prepared to accept this could be of another make. Let us know if you all have any clues.
