Was looking at the local CL adds and this came up under antiques. The owner mentioned purchasing it from someone else. Not sure which owner had added the sheet metal to the table and stand to increase the size. Removing the sheet metal in both locations. Rusted as shown on the sheet metal and knobs. No missing parts and no cracks! The only issue looks to be the sheet metal added to the table and then hole cut with a torch so actual table hole is no longer a clean hole.

Age estimated using dirty paper general catalogs. '38 is when they mention lower guides. '41 only lists 12"+ band saws.
