 Vintage Machinery entry for C. B. Rogers & Co.
 
 | 
| 
| Description: |  | We have seen a machine base, likely for a spindle shaper, with "C. B. Rogers & Co. Norwich, Ct., Patented June 9, 1868" on the base. This patent is by far the most likely match. We also have a report of a large and heavy brass plaque with this patent date, and it most likely came off a large molder. |  |
