Bearing seam good and the armature isn't rattling. The grinder weights 75 pounds. The slotted cover screws are where the brushes are for the armature.

I have a Van Dorn 8" grinder 1/2 hp, 3600 rpms, 110 volts, 8 amps, Serial No. 110724. It runs fairly smooth. Manual grease opening on the top sides of the motor. I believe its pre 1925 model. Can't find any pictures on the web to show what parts are missing. Would this been worth a $100?

Need help again identifying two more items in the attachments below. I think the rusty device is used for lifting bait barrels or some other items to ships. The other device could be for tightening two cables or ropes.

I have been searching the net but unable to specifically find which model # or part # it is. Really don't care about its worth. Thanks RTM for the info Internet Archive: Digital Library of Free & Borrowable Texts, Movies, Music & Wayback Machine I was able to find what I need.

Trying to find the model # or part #. What is the back end of the caliper called? Value of this caliper? Brown & Sharpe MFG, Co. Micrometer Caliper 1-2 Prov. R.I., USA Pat #1,629,406

Both worked a submarine ship yard doing metal cutting with machines. They were in his shop box. I thought that the parts would be for setup for measuring parts or set for machine parts.

The members did a great job identifying my tools in the last post. I need help again for the identifying the items in the picture below. My dad and grandpa both were machinists. Can you tell me what these item are and used for? The items on the right are made of brass

Thanks again for everyone's help.
