This small vintage red cast-iron bench band saw came from the Atlanta, Georgia home of John H. Hopkins, and the \"J.H. Hopkins\" on its riveted nameplate is his name.
Two spoked wheels, an adjustable upper wheel, a blade guide and a slotted steel table make it a handsome little machine for a tool collection or a shop shelf.
A toolmaker\'s vise marked J.H. Hopkins came from the same home and is listed separately, so please take a look at my other listings.
