OWWM'er Alan Holland called me to tell me the machine was made by Rodgers in the 1920s when I had it listed on Craigslist. I had looked at all the shapers on OWWM and never seen anything that looked like mine, so for the record I am sharing it here.

Its a pretty primitive machine with no fence or amenities. It came with a bunch of collars and knives of the type that used to fly off the machines and hurt people real badly.

I acquired it with some other tools and have listed it here so folks who run across one will know what they have.
