Antique band resaw

[802hlake]

I have a band resaw manufactured by the F.H. Clement co in Rochester NY that I am looking to sell. This belonged to my father. Before him, it briefly belonged to Putney Basket aka Basketville, and before that to a luthier who used it to saw guitar tops. It has not been run in many years, but has been under cover. Could come with a diesel motor. 

As far as I can tell, the resaw itself may have been manufactured as early as 1902. Later it was modernized with hydraulic blade guide, fence, and carriage feed. 

Aside from anyone seriously interested in purchasing this cool old machine, if anyone recognizes it or has any useful information please share. 

Taking offers. Obviously this will be a project to move, but I am willing to help for the right price and buyer.

There is a group of guys that hang out at OWWM.org  They are dedicated to restoring and using old machines like yours.  I would also list in their BOYD forum (bring out your dead).  BUT, you have to set a price, although "or best offer" is acceptable.  Also, they DO NOT give appraisals.  Include location and any assistance you can provide,

Nice old saw, good luck.
