    Anybody recognize this bandsaw?

    I hope I attached the photos right... A recently widowed friend was clearing out her garage and I couldn't let this saw go to the dump. The wheels are 12" diameter on 1 1/2" center bearings and the upper one is improvised out of plywood. I'd like to get a new upper wheel to match the lower one, which is aluminum, I think. there is no brand on the machine that I could find.
    Thanks!

          Try going to the site Hoover suggested. There is one similar to yours there. Its a Craftsman, made in the late 30's for them by Walker Turner. No model number given.

                  Your assistant in the first shot doesn't look too impressed with it. You'll have to teach her about the allure of old iron.

                      Rob-
                      That would be my daughter, Molly. Don't worry. She's coming around. She'll don a pair of earmuffs and hang out in the shop--at a safe distance of course--from time to time.
