I just picked this up from a Flea Market today. I cleaned up, I believe the paint to be original. Runs well, it is marked 64 on the data plate I take that to be 1964 which looks about right. I am kind of picky about grinders as I have a few but I hadn't seen one like this before and the price was right. Heavy for its size.
