Thought I'd post this as the first representative photo for Ashland. I picked this up at the local Habitat ReStore for real cheap. I'm hoping my son wants it because I really don't need it.

The dimensions are 7 in tall 7 inches deep and 11 inches wide. Fairly light in weight as the body seems to be either aluminum or an aluminum alloy and the end bells are stamped steel.

There seem to be quite a few of these are round on auction sites and I found one mention in The Garage Journal though apparently no one has bothered to share it here.

Functionally, it's replacement cord has the ground broken but otherwise. It is missing the eye Shields and I can't tell that they were ever installed because the screws for the endbells we're not wanting to screw into the holes on top. If you do a Google image search on this model, you will find what the eye Shields should have looked like and apparently this manufacturer made other models including a 1780 and as well there are other models from a different era that appear to be manufactured by somebody else. I can only speculate that these were sold with a retailers badge and manufactured by somebody else
