Comments:

I had shown some interest in this and some accessories possibly a year ago when visiting "The Evers Factory" in St. Louis, which is now closed and the building has been sold. Mark, the grandson of the original owner, tells me his family has owned this factory, which manufactured awnings and the structures which support them, for approx 100 years. This machine was used in manufacturing supports for the awnings. Because the building was sold he needed to remove this machine asap. I have searched but have been unable to find any machine which looks similar to this so any info would be appreciated. Because I have no reference to view I'm not sure if all parts are here. It appears there should be a guard that covers a portion of the tool. Machine works great but not
sure I'm going to use it for what it was designed. The accessories which came with this was an old Clipper Belt Laser, two roles of leather and boxes of clips. The previously suggested Model #35 has a net weight of 750lbs. The machine in this posting has been weighed at approx 280 lbs. The model remains unknown.
