Shaper bought at auction on 5/22/2007. Looks like the patent drawing for G. Juengst, Shaping and Planing Machine, no. 305,520, patented Sept 23, 1884. The patent drawing has more openings in the side and slightly different table elevation screw and ram drive gearing. Probably dates 1884-1889. Was part of TVA collection of old line shaft machines.
