This grinder is not for sale. I found the grinder in this publication here at VM: "J. G. Blount Machine Tools 1924 catalog no. 21". I'm dating it to around 1924 based on the pub date. However, their only grinder that came with 6" wheels was the "Blount Special" and my version has had upgrades with the tool rests and wheel guards which normally came on larger models. I purch'd this Blount grinder from a friend of mine in the Syracuse, NY area. I paid around $100 for it, his coffee and long chat were worth more. I have no other history on it, other than he did a good job in restoring it. I am on the look out for an original pedestal type stand to go under it. An after market - recently mfr'd thing with a water tray will have to do. Thank you Tom!
