Only about 5.5hr drive from Minneapolis.

Tempting. But not quite tempting enough for me. Got enough projects as it is.

I would buy that just for the cool factor of it.

I like the stomp shear in the picture too.

What's a yooper?

Someone from da U.P., eh. A yooper is a term for someone from Michigan's upper peninsula.

I'm from California. I barely know where Michigan is...

Lodge and Davis. From 1890s. Vintage Machinery site shows this shaper including the original vise.

Smith and Silk may have built this. Somewhat related to Ohio brand shapers. My Ohio Machine tools 16 inch shaper is very similar. These old `16s are a great hobby machines as they are not too heavy, have a relatively small footprint yet make nice chips and smoke......
