July 27, 201511 yr comment_61589 John,This machine looks like a variation of a "Jewel" planer by American Saw Mill Machinery Co. Which later became American Woodworking Machinery Co.http://vintagemachinery.org/photoindex/detail.aspx?id=656The height adjustment looks like the one from the "Pony" planer.http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/36/693.pdf Report
July 28, 201511 yr comment_61590 John, I see it was identified as a C. B. Rogers No. 10 Planer. Yours must be a bit newer than the 1888 model though. C. B. Rogers was another of the 11 companies that merged to form American Saw Mill Machinery Co. in 1897. Report

August 2, 201511 yr comment_61704 a beauty indeed, a much older jointer and planer are on my short list, something from that era to replace my 1940's beaver jointer and parks planer Report
