Patented November 1884 on cutter
patented January 30, 1883 & patented October 23, 1883 on main casting.
These early 78s are awesome examples of Victorian "steam punk" design. If you're going to have a 78, it should be one like this. On this example,the fence does not align precisely parallel to the sole which is a common condition described by Patrick Leach. I suspect it is correctable but I never tried. $44.95 + $14.35 medium flat rate box shipping. $59.30 grand total.
