Saw this sander under a work bench in the museum building of Opus 40, A sculpture park and museum located in Saugerties, NY https://opus40.org/
I couldn't get any closer for more photos. The photo of a Catalog page is from a 1942 General Line Catalog.
Posted the photo over at owwm for a correct identification.
