When I obtained this “Basket Case” Oliver 585 grinder it was literally a pile of rusted parts in a basket and I hoping all the parts were included thankfully the often missing tool holder was included.
It was a somewhat challenging but fun project.
I don't use the grinder a lot but it is a real joy when I do.
I obtained the Birth Certificate from Oliver that states it was ordered by Robins Air Force Base Georgia 1-19-1955 and delivered 5-7-1955
