American Slicing Machine model number location

[s10sleeper]

I acquired an old meat slicer that was at our farm, brand is American Slicing Machine. I’m uncertain of the model number, what I’m able to find cast on the bottom of it is the number 11159. Does this have anything to do with the model? Or where can I find the model number on it?

Got any Pics of the slicer. We like pics.

Are you trying to find parts?

Thanks.

Excuse that it’s partially disassembled, the things needing cleaned really bad because it’s sat in a shed for over 25 years

Not yet looking for parts, hopefully everything inside is ok once I clean it all. The fact that it’s an oiled electric motor is surprising to me, the only other oiled electric motor I have is for my forge blower, and it’s 120 years old

That's a nice looking Ole machine. Definitely need to get that back to it's former glory.

To me that machine looks like a 1940's-1950's era machine.

Thanks for sharing the pics.

Yeah, I’m definitely wanting to get it working, as a kid I remember my dad using it a lot because people would bring them their beef and venison and pay him to make jerky. He had 5 dehydrators that would be constantly running. My grandfather must have bought this a long time ago, when he also had his 4 smokers built on trailers. He never skimped on anything, when he bought things or had something built, it was always the highest end of things. I’ve got one of the smokers he had made in the 60s, and you’d think it wasn’t more than a few years old
