I inherited this from my father in 1990 and he in turn inherited from his father in 1972. My grandfather was as a salesman for Delta Rockwell and retired in 1969. I have all the attachments, extra spindles, all the cutters [save one D-131], collars, molding heads, and knives which are located in wooden boxes on the lower shelf of the stand and window sill behind the tool. According to this site, the serial number indicates the tool was built in Pittsburgh, PA but the tag clearly shows Milwaukee, WI. I use this shaper on every project I buuld.
