Machine Serial Number Registry
|
An ongoing project of the Old Woodworking Machines web site is to document as many
examples of machines and their serial numbers made by the different manufacturers
as possible in the Machine Serial Number Registry.
The reason we want to document these machines it in order to create a rough timeline
as to when a machine was made. Our theory is that if we can create a database of
machines and their serial numbers, we can begin to look for the subtle changes made
over the years as they improved their machinery which can be determined by old catalogs,
ads and similar documentation.
|
The Machine Registry is maintained by a group of volunteers who each take on the
responsibility of one or more manufacturers. If you see a manufacturer that is not
currently listed and would like to serve as a Registry Steward, please contact let
us know.
There are currently
2449
submissions to the Machine Registry
