Wow! An unused Atlas 7B Shaper

Very nice and original stand too. Anybody in or near Colorado?

Atlas 7B 7 Inch Metal Shaper Unused With Stand , Vice, And ToolHolder | eBay

This shaper has never been used. I bought this shaper more than 35 years ago. the table is immaculate as are all the machined surfaces. There is no evidence of swarf anywhere on the machine. If there is any stains in the pictures it is just dried oil.

It is a surprisingly reasonable price for an allegedly near mint and complete shaper. This might be a good one to watch to see what kind of price these can actually bring.
I've seen them listed at $2000-3000 but no idea if anyone actually pays that much.

Some years ago I followed an auction on a government liquidation auction site of 2 South Bend shapers new and in their crates. They went for around $4k each. Very nice finds, but I thought that price was a bit high. Curious to see what this one goes for.

That would be a nice find! A bit pricey for a shaper though.
That reminds me of the war surplus jeeps in a crate that were available back in the 60's and 70's.
I would love to have one of those jeeps as a project.
Actually, I think it was a scam now that I think of it. Popular Science and Boys Life.....
