Got this from a church charity sale. It was donated and have no history. No motor with it. In the 1933 publication Make Your Hobby Pay Dividends (submitted by Joe Wells) it's called a J-12. In the 1933(for 1934 models)(submitted by Neal Jennings)on page 16, it says Driver "Series 700" 12" jig or scroll saw(formerly J-12). So I'm assuming it's a 33 or 34 model. I haven't had time to look at it closely so I don't know if there are any more markings on it. Kinda looks like a pipe fitter designed it(Not a bad thing).**Took it down to bare metal and painted it -I call it olive drab (from my old Army days) Rustoleum calls it Oregano. Under the blue paint, was a bright green, which I didn't like. I had an old A.O. Smith 1/4 hp motor that I'm going to use with it. I haven't installed any pulleys yet but will eventually.
