No identifying marks that I could find. I figured if anyone would know it would be you.

If it was a german accessory, I shurely would know, but this seems to be a US made model ...
On one auction picture it seems to show a casted writing in the upper bow section what I would say looks like KIPP P.M. but I can be wrong.

They also had other models f.e. an eccentric press and a grinder/polisher.

I gotta say Rainer ,mine sure looks like the KIPP P.M bandsaw you show in the photo, I looked everywhere just now with high powered magnifying glass & even removed it from the base ....but found nothing to identify the maker.

I thought I'd try to see if the #35.1/2 could power it (it does take more power to run than most of my accessories)

Bruce, that engine has NO trouble powering the bandsaw at a respectable speed.  Angie sure picked a fantastic saw for you!!!
