Comments:

My father purchased this planer in 1952 directly from Oliver Machinery Co. He was a pattern maker who owned and operated Wisconsin Pattern Works at 53 Market Street in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. When the business was closed in the late 1970's I hauled the machine to our home and had the city install 3-phase power so that we could run it. In 1980 I hauled it out of my parents basement to its new home in Indianapolis, Indiana. The machine is complete with the #100-A knife grinding attachment. Total cost including the knife grinder was $1449.00. I use it regularly and it works perfectly.
