For the blacksmith crowd here. Prentice Bro's, Worcester Mass.  It's mine and will never get to it, thanks for looking.

I would be all over that if I was closer and had the extra dough. I had a small Buffalo one, and sold it at a conference. Been wishing I hadn't for some time.

Good luck on the sale, though!!

I replied to this and the forum lost it Grrrr


I suppose that is a subtle hint LOL, but sadly, i have no place for it to sleep. it is too bad, it would be a really kewl restoration project, and I can't believe it still has the clutch and bottom pully set...

Its a great piece of New England manufacturing history. I really surprised it won't sell. Probably because its still old outdated lineshaft. Its build number 21 of that size 20"(actually 22") .   good luck
