**** Notice! **** This is not my machine. In looking for "die filing" machines this one was listed for sale, 22 October 2018. I thought I would cross-reference it here so others could see what a Type S-1 benchtop model looks like. It appears to be from the 30's or 40's, based on publication data. According to Oliver Instruments Co., on the early models a serial number was hand-stamped onto the top surface of the side arm (over the drive pulley). It is normally concealed by the overarm (on the S-1, or the post on the S-4) which slips into the hole atop the side arm (see 5th photo in the Type S-4 post). I recently posted my Type S-4 benchtop, SN 3431, 1926 which differ in that there is no overarm assembly.
