Notes: These grinders appeared in the 1930s, according to paperwork and a PDF on file here: http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/detail.aspx?id=2310 I purch'd this for $50.00, in the summer of '04 from a private individual whose dad had picked it up from a bus garage in upstate NY after retiring. It runs fine. There is a plane blade holder and it is attached to the front rail-left, there is a kerosene reservoir, brass plumbing to move the k-sene around, and in the rear there are two nuts on an arbor for an additional cone/cone shaped wheel. The data plate indicates: Made in Chicago, USA, Type: KG, V-110, Frame: 37, Freq-60, Power: 1/4, Phase-1, Speed: 3450, #23-502 (model #23, serial #502).
