Well it is a jointer 12" for sale on Craiglist

Many years , I took a night class at the local tech school. They had a
16" jointer (I never knew they made them that big.) ...

I'm not certain the largest ever made, but Oliver made at least 30" and
a few 36" I've seen photos of, but not by Crescent nor Oliver, the most
likely names one might think of...

American WoodWorking Machinery Co 36"

C O Porter Machinery Co 36"

Both of these were in casket-manufacturing shops, they say...

I'd guess there were specific-purpose even larger machines made, but I
don't have any examples.
