I aquired this machine from a window refurbisher. He we downsizing his shop and all the old machines were up and running. The badge was hard to read, there has been a few coats of paint on it over the last 130 years. It is belt driven by a 2hp 3ph motor. It sounds and cuts great. The wheel guards have been on the machine at least since the 1950's. There are dates on the lower guard door that has dates of when the blades were changed. The pictures taken are in the shop where I purchased it. I will have more pictures up soon.
