The 1935 price for this saw was $43.85, the steel stand was $6.85, lamp attachment $1.50, v-belt and pulley $1.45, and a Delta brand 1/3-HP electric motor was an additional $18.95--original total price was $72.15.

A very helpful technician at my local Delta/Dewalt Service Center had the foresight to rescue several very rare, full-line Delta catalogs from the 1930s after someone there had thrown them out. I begged him to digitize them and post them on the OWWM web site.

After much researching I still can’t definitively date my saw, but the old catalogs verified that the 14” band saw debuted in 1934 and only the ’34, '35 and '36 models sported the distinctive ribs on the covers.
