Until you posted, I had never seen one of these saws.
When you get a chance, please post more detailed pics. I find myself staring at the cover on the top wheel. The cool retro look has me mesmerized...
I'm not a "collector"... I don't buy multiples of the same tools; just not wired that way, I guess. But, I could see me getting sucked into buying a machine like that!

Yep, I'd even sell my current bandsaw to buy that. The old tools, man if nothing else they sure look COOL

I would love to have one of those even if I would need a garage stretcher.

I've got one of these saws too. There should be a serial number on the table in the form of X###. Let me know what it is, I'm trying to track all these saws that I can so I can figure out a way of hopefully dating them better. It is known that they started in the early 1920s (like 1922) from advertisements I've found all the way up into the 1940s I believe (final saw had solid aluminum wheels (no spokes) and solid cast covers (no snowflake).
From what I can tell yours probably late 1920s/1930s. The first models didn't have the U shape cutout like yours has on the upper guide part of the frame for more clearance.
