Description
**Sears Craftsman 12" Band Saw-Sander, Model 113**
This is a vintage Sears Craftsman 12-inch band saw with integrated sanding capability, mounted on a metal stand. The tool features a dark gray/black painted steel construction with the characteristic boxy design typical of mid-20th century Craftsman stationary tools. The unit includes two large spoked drive wheels visible through an access panel, a tilting work table, and upper/lower blade guides. The comprehensive instruction label on the front remains largely intact and readable.
The condition shows moderate to heavy wear consistent with regular workshop use. There is visible surface rust on the stand legs and some components, paint wear throughout, and general shop patina. The instruction decal shows some fading but remains functional for reference. All major components appear present including the blade guard, work table, and stand, though the overall finish shows its age.
Based on the styling, construction methods, and Craftsman branding, this unit likely dates from the 1960s-1980s era when Sears contracted with established manufacturers to produce their tool line. The "113" model prefix was commonly used on Craftsman stationary tools during this period.
**Estimated Value:** $150-300 depending on mechanical condition and local market demand. Vintage Craftsman tools maintain collector interest, though the visible wear and rust would place this toward the lower end of the range without restoration.
