Wow. This one was put on our property in 1965, By Janet's dad, back by the stream. I knew it was a planer, but that was it.
We scrapped it 2 summers ago. Sadly, it was too far gone for way too long

 

That's so sad to hear when a precision piece of equipment gets in that state.

 

So I would say your mill must be around 1902 Don.

 

Yeah. That being said, you don't want to hear about this passed summer then.
I'm still shedding tears

 

I followed it Charlie, was a damn shame.

 

Stupid people.

 

This one the bars must of been gone for a long time


WOW! That's very close to the one I bought! Mine is a single post, and this one is a double post, but they look a lot alike!

From what I've been able to find so far, this model was made between 1900 and 1910...

So am I my friend. What you went through breaks my heart too.......

Finally got the motor painted and mounted! I just need to finish routing the 3 phase wiring to the mill and it's done!

 

From this........to this, in less than a month! Not bad for an old fart........lol

 

It's amazing what some people see as junk headed for the scrapper, other see the the potential of it and take the time to pull it apart and make it useable once again. I very nice job Don. I hope you plan on putting something on the Vintage Machinery site. I noted they do not have pictures of a Cincinnati Universal Mill No. 1 1/2.
