Fair Banks Morse Type V

Post by Terry »

In July 2021 I bought a Fair Banks Morse V mill at a auction.
This is a [picture of my mill.
This is what I started with.

After i bought this mill I knew a friend had one that needed restored. I told him if I was doing one I just as well do two mills. So we went and picked up his mill.
This is the only vainless mill that Fair Banks Morse made.

This is what it looked like several days ago. I still need to do some more to it.
But it is coming along very good.

Great job. When did they make those mills. During the same time period when they made the Eclipse?
