Bagged in the wild from Craigs List, wounded as shown in the pictures.

The Duro Metal Products 1941 catalog section on Jointers shows this model as A3033 Jointer with the production style fence and plain bearings. The 1941 & 1943 Powr-Kraft (Montgomery Ward) catalogs show this model as 84R625, note that the '43 illustration shows the circular badge which is missing as show in Fig. 3.

The paint appears to be original and is in pretty good condition. The original knobs are missing and were replaced by a previous owner as shown in the pictures. Being a war-time production machine my guess is that the fluted knobs were bakelite and crumbled with age. Any help with dimensions and pictures of these knobs would be appreciated so they can be replicated. The front table locking mechanism is also missing.
