One of 50+ machines that we were told came from a bankrupt mill in Nebraska. Purchased from a large hardwood wholesale/ retail co. in Kansas City, MO. I restored and used this jointer for about 5 years when starting over at the Lander's Carriage & Wagon Shop here in Humboldt, KS. When older and more apropriate jointer became available I sold it to another nearby start-up shop who three years later moved to Washington state. They offered it to me for what they paid for it. Bought it back because it was the best jointer I've ever used! A 5" diam.round- four knife head, 87" long bed. Oliver addiction is understandable. The Serial # is on top of infeed table, 6" from end.
