Description:

This machine was initially manufactured by the inventor's company, the W. E. Nichols Machine Works, where it seems to have been their biggest-selling product. In early 1899 they sold all rights for that machine to the S. A. Woods Machine Co. The 1899 S. A. Woods catalog features the No. 211 Lock Corner Box Machine that carries this patent date plus the date for patent 593,551. The description says, "We present to the attention of progressive box manufacturers the well-known Nichols Lock Corner Machine, the patents, patterns, good will, etc., of which we have recently purchased from the inventor." This machine was not shown in the 1898 S. A. Woods catalog.
