Title: Need help with an id
Post by: David Standard on March 27, 2014, 05:54:40 AM
I was wondering if anyone could visually identify this grader for me. I am not able to inspect for a stamp or manufacturers name of the frame.

David, this is way out of our focus here but we will try to help you. We have some very well-versed members on antiques.

Didn't take me long to fond this one- http://www.merchantcircle.com/business/Antique.Stuff.and.Vintage.Things.661-724-2552/picture/view/3370477 (http://www.merchantcircle.com/business/Antique.Stuff.and.Vintage.Things.661-724-2552/picture/view/3370477)

Google "vintage grader" and you'll find plenty.

What a great bit of machinery - we never see anything like that in the UK...

Either an early Marvin Land Plane, or a competitor.
