Registry Detail

Machine Information
Serial Number:	21263
Machine Type:	Planer
Machine Description:	Crescent 18" planer
Owner:	Dan Silverman
Manufacture Date:	unknown
Notes:	I've owned this planer since about 1975. It's a beast, and has planed many thousands of board feet of lumber. Just found the serial number, after several prior fruitless searches, thanks to a hint from this site. Would love to know it's age, but based on looking at the old Crescent catalogs and the relatively low serial number, I would guess at least 1920's, maybe earlier.
