Can anyone identify this old Bandsaw?

I picked up this bandsaw a while back and I would love to find some information on it and eventually some parts too. The makers tag has been removed at some point any ideas?

Never seen one like that.

Is the frame cast iron?

Photos of the table and mounting trunnion, please.

I finally unearthed the thing to take some more photos. This project has been deeply back burner'd lately. When I got it there was a piece of plywood bolted to the top of the table you see, and the table looks to be different then any modern bandsaw setup I can find. The whole thing is cast iron and steel, and by the looks of the table it might have originally been red.

No tilt setup and a deep throught.
I'm thinking it was a meat cutting band saw with a sliding table.
I think they replaced the table with what you have there in the process of 'converting' it

What rsanter said.

Interesting. I'm looking at photos of vintage meat cutting saws and can definitely see the similarities. Looks like there should be a fixed table portion that sits inward of the blade, and a sliding portion that rests on what's left of the table.

I'd still like to figure out exact make so I can possibly return it to it's original form. Does anyone know the manufacturers of vintage meat cutting saws so I have a place to start looking?
