Notes: |
Source=Owner's submission (admin added date based on owner's notes). Owner's notes: this saw was purchased new in 1956 from a local hardware store [ MARYVILLE, WA. 98270] for $125.00 I built a home for myself & used it for a finish saw. In 3/15/59 I started to build houses & small commercial buildings with a crew of 2 to 4 carpenters. This saw again was trucked to my cabinet shop, as we pre-hung our doors & built cabinets. We would use it on cedar bevel siding work. In 1961 i purchased a 12" DeWalt we mounted in a 8' x 16' trailer for framing & used the used the MFB for trim work on dozens of large custom homes. This . saw was never worked on for repairs, just kept sharp blades on it & well maintained. In 1/1980 I quite building & stated a contractors lumber yard [Builder's Wholesale Supply, LL,] & we cut trim packages, cedar soffit material, door jambs, cedar deck material & ect.
In 6/2007 I sold the lumber yard to a Masonry supplier that didn't want any of my equipment, so I bought some rental property and built a storage building to store all my old equipment. The other day I took look at the old MBF and thought how much money this piece of equipment made me. It needs paint, but all of controls work & the original front deck is still in place. I don't know what it's worth, but I shop it a little. thanks for your help, Gene Robertson |
