Mike, I'm thinking it's from the 40's. #12 model came out in 1922. On my Dempster information papers, there is a list of changes through the years. The helpers have it at their place, so it's not readily available.

Good for you Mike. Hope it didn't cost an arm and a leg for the bearings.

The inside of this Dempster was almost perfect , taper bearing are more than usable , with oil they should last another generation .
