I just Purchased this from an Amish man in Masonville NY on 8/15/26. He owned it for a year or so and purchased it from auction so most of its history is unknown. This is my first vintage machine, everything else I own is from the 21st century. Im looking for help finding the exact age of it and any other notable information. Its missing a Yates American tag on the side and the tool holder is broken. I'm hoping to personally recast these pieces if i can find donor parts to make a mold from.
