This Rhodes shaper showed up on Craigslist locally, So of course I went to examine..
Here are some photos of the shaper as found. Something unique on this shaper it has auto upfeed. It is original as the bar that sets the trip mechanism is cast into the ram.. Don't have this on mine, even though it was built in the same Hartford plant, It also has No 1 cast into the block..
I'm thinking it is early, but not sure. Would love some input, has anyone else seen this before?? Any guess as to age??
I'll post a number of pictures..
