Vintage bandsaw

[mailman57]

My dad was given this old bench top bandsaw about sixty years ago. I’ve inherited it, and am in the process of restoring it. It has ten inch wheels, cast iron frame, and a GE motor that is probably as old or older than the saw. I have it apart, and there is no indication anywhere as to the maker. The only markings are the number 30-B-6 on both wheels. The steel table has 30-B-7. The two wheel guards are marked 30-B-3. The stand is a homemade affair using angle iron and steel plate. I remember he cut a lot boomerangs for me with this saw. Any ideas about this?

Does your bandsaw look like this Arcade bandsaw? The owner of the bandsaw in the following link says it has the number 30-B-7 under the table.
