Comments:
I purchased this from a garage sale with a motor for 10.00. I have it disassembled for cleaning. I can't seem to find any information about the manufacturer other than what's on this site. I've found other grinders like the Power Kraft sold by Montgomery Wards that look identical. I noticed that a few of the other submissions here didn't know the Model number. I found mine inside on the main body behind the pulley. Another listed on Ebay, which looks identical to mine, is a CB-55g. I will submit an "after" restoration photo when I can.
