Manufacturer: Foley Manufacturing Company, Minneapolis 18, Minnesota.
• Model: The model number is not explicitly clear on the plate but it's an "Automatic Retoother." Other models of the Foley Retoother include the Model 385.
• Purpose: Foley retoothers are used to cut new teeth into old, worn-out saw blades, specifically for hand saws. This machine was part of a broader line of saw sharpening and maintenance equipment made by Foley, which also included saw filers.
It's an antique piece of industrial/woodworking equipment used in a trade that was common when hand saws were a primary tool.
