Machine Information
Serial Number:	B-16063
Machine Type:	Planer
Machine Description:	It's a J18 model Purchased in 1942 by the Charlest
Owner:	James Amirault
Manufacture Date:	Pre-1942
Notes:	I tried in vain to submit a photo with no luck. Website is not clear on how to do it. This beautiful machine is said to have been used to restore the U.S.S. Constitution. It runs fine. A gentleman paid $1000.00 for it. Restored it. Now he has gifted it to my company to raise funds for the Wounded Warrior Foundation. Not sure if I should sell it or if a museum might be intersested for it's provenance.
