Comments:
Original grinder with Thors Type 117 plate was manufactured for sale through Montgomery Ward. Later models were apparently sold under another name. I inherited it from my father who was the original owner, a master woodworker and used it until age 92. No restoration. All I did was dust it off so I could photograph it yesterday (1/31/13).
