Royersford Excelsior 21 & 22" factory spec sheets w/pics

[jljim]

I had posted a couple pictures of my 21" Excelsior in my earlier W F & J thread and had some interested folks. So here is some of my accumulated literature for the that line of drills. Somewhere I have a price list from the early 1900's that used to be in the file with these pictures....I'll post it if I find it. My 21" is pretty complete but has a badly worn bevel gear set. PM me if anyone has parts or needs parts.

Any chance of getting higher resolution images? Interested only in the 22" all v-belts and bearings machines.

I have a restored 22" BB vee belt drill & documentation. PM me if you need photos or info.

Pretty decent scan of catalog 75B with a 22" featured at Vintage Machinery.

Thanks, Mike! Those are the best pictures I've seen yet of the 22" BBV (ball bearing v-belt) Excelsior. That machine has a long base! 44"! Wow.

Anyway, I'm going to go haul mine home tomorrow. Old as I am I am still excited as a new puppy.

Would love to see some pics when you get it home.They're a really cool machine. I seem to recall someone posted some photos here a few years ago. I have a 21" that came from military service. I found this catalog interesting because it mentions an updated 21" version that included the v belt power feed.

To my knowledge cretedog and Highspeed have the 22" Excelsiors. I haven't heard of any others.

I will certainly take pictures.

A local friend of mine has a 22", with vee belts and ball bearings throughout. He bought it outside Philly, not far from Royersford.

I have a 2 spoke handwheel and pinion from an Excelsior 21" - the last parts left on the top of one that I cut in half to be an outdoor vise platform- free for the shipping, can takes pics etc if desired.
