Inherited from my grandfather. He inherited it after his oldest brother during WWII times.

I do not know any history of it or when it was manufactured. I can only predict from limited resources available that it was built in 1940s or 50s. Would LOVE some history and information on this piece. I see there is another (atleast what appears to be) B66S, though it says model 8665, they look exactly the same. This is the only other photo I have seen that is similar to mine.

Pictures of the final product. Only thing missing is the brush wheel, the hardware store I was at did not have them.
