Recently purchased on Ebay no history known.The Dumore motor has a 4.5 to 1 gear reduction driving the flex shaft with a 5/32" Jacobs chuck. The flexible shaft is stamped in very small letters S.S.White Dental MFG. Co.That and the nickle plating and the excellent condition lead me to think that this was intended for use in a dental lab or other clean environment. The foot pedal rheostat is also in near perfect condition I assume it is a Dumore product but it has no markings on it. I'm guessing that this was manufactured in the 1940s or 50s, I would be interested to hear from anyone who has knowledge of this excellent little tool,meantime it is an welcome addition to my little shop.
