Old Boice Crane table saw jointer

Mike in Zuni Va

Some time back I was given an old Boice Crane combination table saw jointer. It is large with a 10 inch saw, 6 inch jointer, and a heavy formed metal cabinet. I am to a point that I would like to start to restore the machine. To me it appears to be from the 20s or 30s. How would I determine a possible age range? Also the restoration will include a new paint job. What was the original color scheme? I have done a google image search as well as checking out the OWM site. So far, it appears to me they used two colors. One appears to be a machinery gray and the other appears to be a hospital green from the 50s or 60s. Any help or additional insights would be appreciated.

Any clues to be had from looking inside the cabinet for the original color?

When I first started to teach shop, my Boice Crane bandsaw was a dark grey.
