Looks homemade to me. Very local anyway. And the wood looks quite old.

ya its definately old.  supposedly the guy i bought it off of had it for about 5 years and he said he bought it from original owner who had it for like 30-40 years which would put it in the 70s.  there is a sticker on it that says don f snyder distributing company south bend. so either it was home made and someone put that sticker on there or they were manufactured. now ryan the guy i purchased it from said he did find pics of another one online but cant remember where.
