Bay State

In the Bay State, Whittemore added a hand-driven gear and fork gear to their board-mounted lathe. This example is missing the slicer blade and the label. By this time Whittemore, Harrington & Co had become Whittemore Brothers. Whittemore Brothers would become D.H. Whittemore. Under D.H. Whittemore the Bay State would evolve into an all cast iron table-mounted lathe parer.
