Check Out my $10.00 Thrift Store find

[ls1jay]

Had some time inbetween jobs today, (operate a concrete pump) and stopped into a new thrift store in Chelan WA. Just about to leave and noticed this old gem sittin in a corner all by itself. Cool old craftsman grinder, not sure if ill use it or not, but I had to have it. Anyone know what era this is from? First one Iv ever seen like it.

Nice find . Looks safe enough just make sure kids dont play with it.

You will use it.
And you will love it.

I've got to imagine that motor is not original to the belt-driven grinder. It looks like a car starter in a way.

Hahah, I probably will use it! I thought the motor looked funny too. Its a GE Motor 1/5 hp if I read it right. It Doesnt say craftsman on it that I can find so Im not sure.
