Description:

From the 1869-12-25 issue of Scientific American: "BLIND-SLAT TENON MACHINE—We have recently patented one of the above Machines, which we GUARANTEE SUPERIOR to any machine of the kind in use. Shall be pleased to furnish cuts and prices of this and any other Wood-working Machinery. Address STEPTOE, McFARLAN & Co., Cincinnati, Ohio."

The 1883 Rowley & Hermance catalog features a "self-feed blind slat tenoner" that "combines parts of both the Bickford and Ellis patents, and is principally used for tenoning short slats for inside blinds", making two tenons at one operation. The Ellis patent referred to is patent 16,534.
