Comments:

I purchased this from the son and grandson of a long time owner. It was acquired by him in 1930 for use in a planing mill near Danville, OH. The planing mill closed operations in 1970 and the saw was moved to a barn in North Canton, OH where it never moved again until I got it in March 2009. It was purchased off ebay.

Upon further inspection there appears to be alot of the original paint and pin striping behind the years of dirt.

As I get her cleaned up, I'll add more photos of the details.

See the Frank patents for more info on this bandsaw/gigsaw combination.
