Comments:

Originally purchased in 1915. I bought it at an auction sale in 2018. It was used by the previous owner to manufacture & repair beehive burners at saw mills.
It has seen some rough treatment but it still works although it needs some repairs. The only mention of this machine that I have found is on the Vintage Machinery web site. There is a picture of this machine is an 1897 magazine.

Bertsch was founded in 1879, and has earned worldwide recognition as the leader in the manufacturing of innovative, heavy-duty metal rolling equipment. Bertsch has been a Piranha brand since 2003.
