Purchased on e-bay 11-8-07 from what was originally a building(now architectural design) firm est. 1889 in NYC. So far as I know they were original purchasers of this machine and the bench saw that I also bought at same time. Also had large assortment of chisels and bits to go with it and also an adapter to use tapered square shank brace bits, perhaps that's why it was listed as "drilling machine". Removed what was presumably later added guards around belt and looks like the motor mount was added later also as it's been welded to frame and plate steel base along with the feet of the machine. Possibly Parks? Has the flattened/flared out angle iron feet and flattened/twisted angle iron foot lever. Please e-mail if you have any knowledge of machine/manufacturer. Thanks
