Cutter ID help please

I just picked up this cutter, the only ID I can find is the ‘utility’ on the front. It weighs over 200 pounds and I couldn’t tip it to look on the underside. It has a 16 3/8 inch bed. Any ID help would be greatly appreciated

There is one identical for sale currently on eBay under “vintage paper cutter”, maybe that seller has some knowledge.

There is a name/word cast into the front of the knife carrier. What is it?

That reads ‘utility’ - I’m sending an e-mail to the seller on e-bay, hopefully he can shed some light on this for me. His has a picture of the name casted on the cutter ‘Pavyer Printing Machine works St. Louis MO USA’ Thanks!

Utility paper cutters were made by the Pavyer Manufacturing Co. and sold through ATF in the early 1900s

Thanks Bill - I’ll do a search. In the mean time, if anyone has any more info on this cutter it would be great
