Machine Information
Serial Number: 16377
Machine Type: Jointer
Machine Description: Crescent 12" jointer
Owner: Ron Nidiffer
Manufacture Date: 1910-1912
Notes: I bought this jointer at a sawmill in Iowa 6 years ago. It has a property tag from Fruehauf trailer co SN 2504. It has babbitt bearings and a, what appears to be, homemade cutter guard made out of sheet metal. On the base is the round brass Crescent name plate with SN 16377 stamped on it. This same SN is also stamped on the end of the in-feed table. Also cast on the base is the Crescent Machine Co Leetonia, Ohio identification. I will submit a photo as soon as I can. (Date range based on the bracket that held the guard which was introduced around 1910 and the round handwheels, which were discontinued around 1912 based on Crescent catalogs)
