OK, I looked it up in a 1940s catalog, and note that it is a small manufacturing milling machine; I am especially partial to B&S machines and tools, having owned three of them since I was in my '20s, a #3B heavy, a #2 single overarm universal, and finally a 1943 vintage #2 universal without rapid travel, it's an addiction, what else can I say! Also have a B&S #0 bench grinder, belt drive, has taper fit QC wheel collets.
