Description: |
The manufacturer made bandsaws themselves, but also sold these guides to other bandsaw makers. An ad in the May, 1919 issue of "The Wood-Worker" magazine features these guides, and lists six patent dates: Aug. 12, 1890; Feb. 10, 1891; March 28, 1891; April 12, 1891; April 25, 1893; March 4, 1913. The ad copy says, "Warning! Poor imitations of our Guide are on the market. Avoid any possibility of claim suits by sending us your orders direct." |
