Comments:

The No. 4 is essentially an enlarged version of the No. 1, with gauges that can be set from 45 to 90 degrees. It was available in a bench-mount version (as shown), or on a stand with drawer. This is the earlier version of two completely different AMC/Oliver trimmers that were assigned the same model number.
