Resident in the United States, this tiny shaper has an overall length of around 14 inches and, judging by the use of flat-belt drive, must date from before 1930.
It appears to be of a heavy and professional build, though there is a chance that it might have been offered as a kit of casting from completion at home. Unfortunately the table power feed mechanism is missing, and how this was arranged is not known>
In America, a similar though larger shaper was offered by Lewis and another by Jones, but both these were of later manufacture and used V-belt drive. In England, the Perfecto Company offered their shaper as a kit of parts (or also complete and ready to run) as did E.W.Cowell. Even today, a similar kit is available with this delightful miniature example by Martin Model in the USA.
