Looks great, that arch will last a lifetime if kept dry.
I think the brake you may have been thinking yours was is a Cornice truss brake made in Buffalo. They made them out of a combination of wood and steel for years then went to all steel.
I love old USA made equipment, you will be able to use it as long as you want and then sell it for a profit as long as you keep it dry.

Not sure what make it is, but that brake looks exactly like the Brake my local tin shop uses. Theirs is a 10 or 10.5' I believe. They have a 3' table directly behind it to support larger sheets. Back in the 90's I used it a lot in my furnace business. The owner at that time was the grandfather of the currant owner. Gramps loved to talk and had loads of wisdom to take in. The only problem was when I needed to get something done quick it took about 60-90+ minutes to get out. He died in 2010 at age 80, about 2 years after going into semi-retirement. Up until about 1 month prior to his death he still worked for 2-3 hrs each morning at the shop.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.

Nice find. Keep your fingers away from the business end.
