Comments:

This is not my horizontal mill. It is not for sale or trade by me. Seen locally. The only history I have on it is in the photographs. This machine was sold by Ogden R. Adams of 266 State St., Rochester, NY. The electrical and mechanical machinery firm started out with a capital of $125,000.00 w/I.E.Mason, C.E.Kinney, & O.(for Ogden)R.Adams, all of Roch., NY. Note that it has a base underneath the mill, from the paint it looks like a match and it is also electrified. That style of switch plate is from the '60s (or earlier?) I believe.
