If you have information to add to this entry, please contact the Site Historian.

The John R. Kovar Mfg. Co., Inc., was a 20th century farm-implement manufacturer. That would not qualify for listing on the Vintage Machinery website, which is focused on woodworking and metalworking machinery plus the engines and motors that power them, but we have seen a drill press with a sticker from this firm. The drill press is cast aluminum.
