This thing is a blast from the past but I have no idea how far back. I'm
guessing mid 1950's, as are some friends, but we would like to narrow it
down closer if possible.

Yes, it's in working condition and beats using a whirlygig on a surface
grinder. :)

I agree, I would place it in late 30's or early 40's based on the brush type
main motor.

        I have to agree -- at least older than mid 50s, based on the
style of the nameplate. I was just starting to buy tools new at that
time, so I have a good feel for the appearance of the nameplates.

        Enjoy,
                DoN.
