Don't know. The info does not include the date of manufacture. I really want a Cincinatti#2 mill but would buy this one if it's cheap enough.

I'll bid up to about $1,200. The last Cincinatti mill around here brought over $2,000. Charlie scrapped one out for about 600 bucks...........sigh...

Just the stuff he scrapped out would have made me the best and biggest machine shop in over a hundred miles!

He told me last night he threw out over 40 grindstones that would have fit my new pedistal grinder. The 12" wheels are $97.00 each, and the 14" wheels are over $140 each! That's over $4,000 worth of new stones that went to the dump!!!
