What is it? State surplus auction has a "something" they labeled as woodworking equipment. Looks similar to an old school desk.... top image on page 117. Not uncommon for them to mislabel stuff. I'm curious as to what it actually is.

The only backside pic is on page 116, the previous pic, but the image is at=
a distance. Can't see anything close up. Sheet metal shear is likely co=
rrect. Could have used it a few months ago when making copper hinges. Wen=
t to a local metal shop and they cut and bent the 4 strips for $20. Two 16=
" "piano" hinges were made. The hinges pins are #4 (or #6, can't recall) c=
opper wire. Worked out pretty well.

As to the shear machine, the cast iron legs caught my eye. I wonder if th=
ey could be re-purposed for making a stand for a foot-petal 20" grinding st=
one. I like old tools and have the stone, but no petal-stand apparatus.

Looks like a pile of medical, perhaps OR, equipment to me.

I had decided it was more likely sheet metal related than wood related
because I couldn't see foot pressure doing much to a sheet of wood -
but I really want to see the backside and under the deck ;-)

On the previous pic, page 116, the tool is in the background, a view of the opposite side. Enlarge the image and it appears there is a foot petal.
Run your cursor over the right bottom corner of the page and an enlarging tab appears.

Looks like a nice Browne and Boggs shear with infeed and outfeed
tables. Might not be a B&B - but definitely a sheet metal shear - foot
operated.

My STRONG suspicion is it was used for cutting lithiograph plates
for printing - the infeed and outfeed tables would prevent buckling
of the plate

On second thought, the wood decks make it more likely to be a paper
cutter than a sheet metal tool.

Without a closer examination, to me it looks like it could be a
paper "guillotine" for cutting paper to size, cleaning up the edges of
textblocks, or similar.

My thinking as well. Sheet metal will gouge up that wood -
eventually.

That was my second guess. That or a sheet metal break.
Shows you what I have as a major interest, and it isn't sheet
metal work B-)

Close - it's a sheet metal shear
