Doug brought in a Delta Shaper from the 1940s today and began cleaning it up.  There were two metal plates on the unit:  a Delta identification plate and a plate that identified the store where the shaper was originally purchased.  The name of the store was Larry’s Tool & Supply on Main Street in Chico, California.

Since this tool store has been gone for at least the last 30 years, we’re wondering whether anyone in the North Valley area remembers anything about this now defunct business.  If so, leave a comment!
