>>HISTORY<<
Purchased from OWWMer Rich McGowan in September 2008.
Fellow OWWMer Chris Jarzynski was kind enough to Rucker it to me at ArnFest2008.
6/6/2021: Sold to a future OWWMer.

Note:
I suspect that this grinder was made by Clizbe Bros. Mfg. for Sears, but I do not have 100% definitive evidence.
This exact grinder does not appear in any Sears power tool catalogs.
It may have been sold through the large catalog or in the retail stores.
I believe that this grinder was preceded by the (similar) Craftsman model 6629 in the early 1950s.
A Craftsman badged version of this grinder can be seen in the 1936 Sears Golden Jubilee full catalog.
