Thank you, Scott.
And to anyone else....the 45 seems to be maybe a type 11 or 12? Is that right? My google-fu is struggling on 45 dating.

Looks like a nice haul. Hopefully your bride found a few things also. This has been my secret to getting Candy to let me buy things. If she didn't get to buy the crazy things she loves, then you can bet much of my rusty treasure would have been left where it was found.
Not sure on the type of the #45, especially without seeing the other side. Another consideration is type studies from different sources do not always agree. The type study in John Walter's book make yours at least a type 12 (1915-1920) with a rib above the blade holder, a bolt holding the knob and fine adjuster on the fence.
There is another book around here somewhere with different dates and type #s for the changes.
When it comes right down to reality, with the adjustable fence having a bolt locking against the front rod that is the high point in the type progression of the #45.
