This has been in the family for a long time.....my grandfather gave it to my father and he gave it to me recently, he had painted it with a rubberized coating so i had to take it to bear metal....fixed some wiring (it would give you a shock or two if grinding anything metal...i was gonna do a quick spray and fix and use it but it came out so nice i may just keep it lookin that way but it does work excellent.. dont know much about it i found this site while looking up info about it and so far i see that companion was a sears and roebuck product that was a cheaper more affordable version of there own...also i believe they stopped companion in 1939 or so making this alot older than i thought...had a great time cleaning it up....and its apparent a cheap version of tools back then is probably still better than most of the new ones
