Here is an old ad for it.

Holy Crap...it says in the ad about the diameter of the pulley...but it seems slow!

Thanks, that should be easy to figure out!

Search OWWM; I've never seen that before, though. Interesting.
But, set it up so the cutterhead is running in the range of 3650-5000
SFM and it'll be fine.

Oopsies! I misread (it's _awfully_ fine print! is my story and I'm
stickin' to it! :) ) the diameter as 3+" instead of 2-5/8". At 4200
rpm, that is a little under 3000 sfpm which is a little low, granted.
But, that's a pretty small machine; from the original picture had
thought it quite a bit larger so I'm guessing feeder speed is pretty
slow which will counteract the problem.
Also, bearings probably not the _most_ robust, altho of that vintage
things were just typically quite a lot more robust so that's likely not
a real concern.
Might push it a little beyond that target; I'd not want to get carried
away, though... :)
