Walker-Turner · Shaper · 1949 to the mid-1950s (S1140, then 6110)
Walker-Turner built floor shapers from the 1930s, and the two you'll see most are the S1140 of 1949 to 1953 and the 6110 two-speed spindle shaper that followed it. The 6110 came out under Kearney & Trecker, which owned Walker-Turner from 1948 to 1956. It runs at 7,000 or 11,000 RPM on a nylon-cord V-belt, its spindle sits in two ball bearings 10 in apart, and the spindle, bearings and motor rise together 3 in on gibbed dovetail ways. The table is 22 x 33 in of cast iron, and it shipped with a reversing switch and three cutter adapters. By 1953 Walker-Turner's shapers had had interchangeable spindles for six years. Find one with its spindles, fence and guard and you have a proper small-shop shaper.
Shop check
Should come with it
Hard to find if missing
Check the listing photos against these lists, and ask the seller about anything you can’t see. A missing fence, guard or motor should come off the price.
Spindles and adapters are Walker-Turner parts and often go missing. Check the reversing switch and the dovetail ways that raise the spindle.

Buying guide
What's listed is parts, from a 6110 and a Driver-series arbor, not a complete Walker-Turner shaper. Spindles and adapters are hard to replace, so make sure they come with any shaper you find, along with the fence and guard. Ask for a video of the spindle raising and the reversing switch working.
