    Default Vintage Thicknesser

    I have a little thicknesser that is very definitely a vintage item. See below. Unfortunately it has no makers name on it so I can't tell where or how long ago it was made. My guess would be prior to WW1 without a doubt. Somebody has at a later date modified it to run off the single phase motors they mounted on it. It does actually run too!

    I reckon the legs on it are the best I have seen for a while too!! well, for a machine anyway...

    As I have run out of space and have no room to store this little beauty, it is reluctantly offered for sale, cheap, best offer. I know this is not the BuynSell forum but I thought it should go in here.

    I would at least like to know from anyone who may have an identical machine that has some information on where they came from, age, etc...

    Quality remains, and the cost is soon forgotton.

    Nice looking machine. Is the motor vintage?
