Until now, only seen period drawings of mobile shops. May have been Audel's or Lindsey's reprints, but this is far nicer. While a showroom has a different clientele than a working shop I'm sure this made rounds in every state and county fair possible. Aside from cut away drill press table and no shaper, this passes for a near fully equipped toolroom.
Sincerely,
Toolmaker51
