Purchased for $300 from an individual who had purchased a number of older machines from an old mill in Missouri. Photos and some discussion on this site lead me to believe that the pinstriping and lettering may be original from Hall & Brown. Machine has a 4-knife Hall & Brown round "safety head" likely not original to the machine. Powered by a GE 5hp 3ph motor circa 1905.
