Comments:
I do not own this machine.
It belongs to Scott Sprunger (grandson of Harry Sprunger, who founded the company).
Scott obtained this jointer in October 2006 from an ebay seller in Lansing Michigan.

Model J45 4-1/2" cast iron jointer, S/N 54417, built in 1965.
The machine badge lists Topeka, but it was probably built in Ligonier, using an old tag.
