Spotted by OWWM'er Peter Rose on a lot in St Louis with some other old, non-operational machinery. Steve L and I scouted the location, and Steve passed his card to some guys at a business next door so we can try to contact the owner regarding sale. It's a 16" machine, pseudo-clamshell head, babbitt bearings. No fence, head has been retrofitted for v-belts. The head turns OK in the babbitt, which seems pretty tight and still has shims. Well-worn decal is visible between the layers of gray paint, so this machine started out life painted a medium gray. The machine looks to be in pretty good shape overall, minus the cosmetic issues, lack of fence or guard, etc. The tables have lots of rust, but are not yet pitted significantly. This machine has a City of St Louis property tag on it (41-13-K-49), so it was probably not over-used during it's active life.
