I originally posted this on Vintage Bench Grinders. Member 1982fxr identified as a Baldor, but said he'd never seen these tags before and suggested I post here, suggesting general interest.

Ford Rotunda bench grinder manufactured in early to mid 50's, according to Google AI, as per its "relatively low" serial number of F375. I bought this in 1978 when Millers Falls Tool , Greenfield MA, went out in business. Don't know how they ended up with it, but it's my understanding that Rotunda was only provided to Ford dealer shops.

Anyone have any further information?
Please see the attached photos.

I've never seen this badge on a Baldor. Anyone know anything about it or where they were sold?
I had an identical one with an Ingersoll Rand badge that I think also said NAPA.
