I recently met a nice gentleman who had these nice belt driven table and band saws in his barn.
The band saw is a Crescent Machine Co. with a 1905 patent date, but the table saw is a mystery. The only tag on the table saw I found was from the dealer that sold it.
Does anyone have a guesstimate on value for each if I make him an offer? I've been wanting to find saws of this age for a while to add to my shop.
Apparently they originally came out of a line shaft shop that built beehive boxes, but haven't been used in decades.
They'll need to be completely disassembled and cleaned at the very least before they ever see more use due to rust and dirt from sitting, and I wouldn't doubt some babbitt work.
Sorry for the poor pictures,it was dark and there wasn't much room to walk around.
Thanks,
Jay
