Vintage Machinery entry for R. K. Huntoon

Description:

This carving machine was used to make serpentine balusters, bed-posts and the like. It won a large Silver Medal at the 1855 Fair of the American Institute but the inventor, R. K. Huntoon, did not have the financial resources to make a success of it. Co-assignee J. B. Rand was a machinist and piano-forte manufacturer, who we suspect asked Huntoon to develop this machine for his piano-making business. By 1868 Rand was making and selling this machine although we have found only a single mention of this fact so Rand likely did not make much money on it either.
