I am not affiliated with the sellers or the auction group, just sharing it in case anyone is looking for old iron. 

Fay&Eagan jointer. Not much info in the listing but several pics. 

Some other WW items as well.

Wow, that is a big ol' jointer.

Strange fence positioner and the guard looks too small.  Looks like it has several different positions to fasten the fence in place.   what width-can't quite figure it out?  Probably Babbitt bearings.

Here's that whole auction

Thanks for posting, but I'm going to pass on this one.

This is one I'd be tempted on if I had anywhere to put it.

I think that's almost as big as my entire shop.

I think it would fit into mine, if I remive the tablesaw, bandsaw, and workbench first. Except it wouldn't fit through the door...

Pretty sure it costs more than my entire shop, including the building!

Even if I did have somewhere to put it, I'd end up sleeping on it when the wife found out how much it cost.

That Fay & Eagan jointer looks like a great find for anyone into vintage woodworking tools. Appreciate the heads-up—worth checking out for sure.
