I bought this trimmer thru an ad in BOYD about a year ago. Finally got around to cleaning and painting. The table was rusty and painted silver so I stripped it and spooged it before buffing it out. It came out pretty good and the angle markings are still visible. 2 of the handles were missing and 2 were cracked so I turned a new set out of maple. That was not original but I had scrap available. The serial number is stamped in at least 3 places but it does not have an Oliver tag. There is also a C&O 1032 stamped on the carriage, this may be from C O Porter who made some machines for Oliver/American Machine Co.
