I do not own this grinder. I am posting it for the archives.
This grinder currently resides in the steam engine locomotive shop of the Illinois Railway Museum.
(Update: as of September 2015 this grinder no longer resides in the steam shop and may have been removed from service at the IRM.)

Craftsman model 115.6845 1/3hp 3400rpm 5.0A 110V 60Hz bench grinder (catalog #2617).
Wheels are 7" x ¾" face and ½" shaft.
Type CKO, code B2_47.
Original Sears blue paint from the 1930s through around 1947.
All cast iron construction (base, end bells, guards).
This particular grinder is missing the tool rests (two-piece design), eye shields and left guard assembly.
