THIS MACHINE IS NOT MINE, NOR IS ANY PART OF IT FOR SALE, DON'T ASK, AND NO I DO NOT WANT TO TRADE YOUR ITEM "X" FOR IT. THIS IS NOT A SALES FORUM AND I DO NOT HAVE MACHINERY FOR SALE HERE.

This grinder is no longer mine. I do still own the stand that it came on tho'. These grinders first appeared in the 1930s according to a PDF here in the pubs section: http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/detail.aspx?id=2310 I am the third owner of this Wallace grinder. The previous owner was selling it for his wife's deceased father. Apparently, he was a machinist in the Buffalo, NY area and that is where I purch'd this. I paid $125.00 incl the stand. The grinder does work, but needs some help with a permanent switch and at least a good motor cleaning, it won't start w/out a turn of the wheel to help it.

**Note: This publication is the only one I could locate in the library that has the grinder pic'd and ref'd: http://www.vintagemachinery.org/pubs/detail.aspx?id=2310
