Ideal Lawn Mower Sharpener ,THE FATE-ROOT-HEATH COMPANY, Plymouth, Ohio. They made Plymouth and Silver-King tractors in the 40s and locomotive engines before that. This was in my father-in-laws shop. I bought it on his estate auction in August 2013. I am not sure how it works or if it is all here, but I do know it is for sharpening reel type mowers. The grinder sets up on the rods on the frame and rolls back and forth. My mother-in-law said he sharpened every lawnmower in town in the 60s. Any other info would be appriciated. Thank You!
