#6 Duplex Grinder

Sterling Grinding Wheel Co. manufactured grinders and the Brickner tilting machine vise circa 1914-1921. The vise was originally manufactured by Bricker Machine Co., also of Tiffin, OH. We have found references before 1914 to Sterling Emery Wheel Co., which may be a predecessor. By 1940, Sterling was a division of Cleveland Quarries Co.
