The word “Neepawa” is stamped on one side, while “Patent Dec. 7 1920” is stamped on the other. When fully extended it measures 29x9x5 inches in height and 20x23x5 inches in width. Neither the seller nor Starrett’s friends were able to identify it. Kucher loves history and wonders if anyone knows what this piece of equipment is used for and what the connection to Neepawa might be.
