My Boice-Crane 6” jointer sold for $85 (MSRP) in 1937 and was considered ‘low-cost’.. adjusted for inflation, that works out to about $1200 in todays dollars. I would rather have my BC than anything I could get for $1200 today, simply because it’s over-built, over-engineered and works as well or better than anything out there currently. And coincidentally, I bought it two years ago for… $85 :) 1937 catalog listing: Cheers, -- Brad in FL - To be old and wise, you must first be young and stupid |
