Very cool!  those C frames became even rarer when the English wheeling became popular, I know a few Oliver band saws were dismantled for the C-frame.

WOW

I never would of guessed part of a scroll saw. Such a ornamental piece.

And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

Wow is right, they just do *not* make machines like that any more.
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

Be still my heart! I think that I am falling in love with Our Lady of the Jones Superior Scroll Saw.

She must have been a popular Lady !   I have the same face on an Old Ingraham Mantle Clock.

That was a pattern sold to foundries, she came in many sizes. Don't know her name? Victoria?

Sounds like she was the 1900 version of the mud flap girl that truckers drool over.
