    Yep, I agree...

    Hi,

    I can't make out the name either but the make is by Davis SM Co out of Dayton, Ohio and is an Underfeed model. Serial number is on the front slide plate and she appears to have been made in the 00's. Don't know anything about the second pic.

    How about a "professionally appraised" Piaza machine? Emailed and said it is likely a Plaza. Price dropped to $150, bu appraiser comment remains. Oh well.
