Comments:

This machine belongs to Bill Block of Aurora, IN.

The machine carries a patent date of March 19, 1878. The patent information is available here:
http://www.datamp.org/displayPatent.php?id=3465

This machine has a simpler base than the machine shown in the patent drawings, and probably dates from late in the term of the patent. The machine was designed by William Doane and George Bugbee, who for many years were jointly or separately responsible for the great majority of J. A. Fay designs.
