I purchased this shaper from a one-man shop up in West Point, NY. He had bought it some years before from the woodworker in the loft next to his. That fellow in turn bought it from Rudolf Bass back in the 80s. Before that, who knows? It's a great machine and virtually unchanged from the model still available from Northfield. The table has taken on a noticeable swiss cheese appearance from multiple feeders and fence arrangements over the years, but whaddayagonnado?

Since there were no other Northfield shapers depicted, I thought I'd go ahead and post mine.
