Comments:

Purchased at an auction with intent to add a gear reduction motor to use it as a metal saw. Then ran across a nice Delta 1955 W/M 14" for a very reasonable price. Plan now is to refurbish this saw for my son to use. The wheel cover and badge design along with no sign of saw ever having a serial number indicate a 1937 or 1938 build date. Saw is complete and I think all original. Has pressed steel wheels and pulley cover is cast iron. Needs bearings all around and new rubber tires.
