Default Who has the oldest, but working, machine?

My compressor, which works, was made in 1951. Does anyone have
anything made earlier, that is in working condition?


An Adams wood lathe, some time before the turn of the century. For tools
I use often, the Coladay 36" band saw, about 1908. Craftsman band saw
from the thirties, Stark #4, and the youthful SB9C, 1937. The 1947
Hardinge TM is barely broken in, but it has the 1936 Eklind High Speed
Milling attachment to turn to for advice.
