Who made this shaper?

[DiscoDan]

This is a possible donation to Tuckahoe Steam & Gas Association, which is a machine shop Museum that I volunteer at. I don't see any markings on the machine. Anyone recognize it? Definitely smaller than a Abom79's G&E!

Don't recognize it. Do find it interesting that it has a table support for it's size.

sheldon / vernon. Variable speed is wheel on front. 12 inch I believe. I looked at one a few years back. I think these were common in schools.

Thanks all. I ran across a video of Abom79 with a Sheldon 12 inch before he got the G&E, so I think the value just went up!

It looks like a dead ringer for my Vernon 10", which is pre Sheldon. I will have to post a picture later.

Yup, it's a Vernon.

I bought this shaper a few months back and stumbled upon this thread by accident. The good news is I gave her a full restoration and she's back in service.

She needed alot of work, but it was a fun project.
