Spent months on Craigslist trying to find one at a price I could pay,this one was finally there after I'd seen it on Ebay.And after price had been cut in half after not selling on Ebay.I called fast!

Its a late 1930's - 1940's model that would have been in a Butcher Shop.Man I got it from had bought it at an estate sale to resell.

Reason it didnt sell I guess is its missing the blade guard and sharpening stones? Just for the heck of it I turned it on and ran my handheld handled diamond knife sharpener over edge,its nice!

We drove over 2 hours in each direction to get it (Nice day trip but another story ) works really well,slices cheese like a champ too.

Spent a day really cleaning it up nicely,Yup,a Hobart! Boy do we love the thing!
