Possibly, but not in as good of condition as the one you found!

I've never seen one like that. It always amazes me that such clones occurred and weren't challenged as a patent violation. Most of the Mark V clones I've seen are a blatant copy of the SS design.

I would hazard a guess that the 10E was a 'clone' of those items posted above.

In spite of all the 'Hans' propaganda, there were predecessors. The 10 E/ER was the most successful of them.

The Mark 5/V clones were long after patents had run out(biscuit jointer excepted:D).

There is nothing new or even recent about multi-purpose tools...
I used to have a 1905 foot powered lathe that was made as both a metal and a wood lathe. I still have an old unit (as barnyard art) that was a table saw, large jointer/planer, heavy grinder and bandsaw combined. Note that it was neither tilt blade or tilt arbor... I guess you would call it a tilt-board... When I bought it they had retired it from a KY sawmill where it was being used to saw tomato / tobacco stakes. The upper part of the bandsaw was gone.
