Found on Ebay; seller reports:

1880's very old J. M. Marston band saw w/ flywheels wood .

This is a very cool and very old band saw by the J. M. Marston company boston , mass. Looks to be around the turn of the century. Has a converted electric motor on it but was originally powered by a belt driven factory apparatus most likely from hydropower.comes with a few extra blades. I do not have any other photos or literature. It came out of a barn that used to house the Shrewsbury, Massachusetts town hiway department back In the 30's. This is all i know. Feel free to use the photos for your site.
