Offered is the Cast Iron Blade for the BADGER 18-Inch Paper Cutter.  These were heavy-duty cutters for butcher paper, giftwrap or Kraft paper from a big roll.  The blade remains pretty sharp-a thick tape will be attached to the blade for safety. There are a few rust spots, but none is severe and the blade has been cleaned with a brush and go jo hand cleaner only. The original factory japan finish is still pretty good.    The overall length is 19 1/8 inches and the side mounting arms are about 4 1/2 inches each.  The number 28 is engraved on the back, probably while the steel was still hot.  Probably early 1900s vintage. These blades seldom come up for bidding these days and this one may work with other cutters or even a cutter of your own design. A little over 3 pounds packed up.  NO RESERVE!! Thanks for looking.
