Here's a machine you don't see just every day. This is the Dodds dovetailing machine, patented June 14, 1887. This particular machine was owned by the George C. Whitmore furniture company in Connecticut. The design is surprisingly simple and elegant.
The patent 364,635 can be seen here:

I don't own this machine myself, but it sold for $575 + 10% buyers' premium.
