Dependable Depend O Matic... anybody got a clue?

[organ]

Tried searching Google... nothing. Wondering what kind of mysterious machine this plaque belongs to...

I will guess....some type of water/sump pump system.

I'm of no help but that Art Deco logo is awesome. A depend-o-matic sounds like something everyone needs to own though.

Wouldn't it be called a "Co-Depend-O-Matic" then?

It belongs to Dependable Machinery Co. They primarily built woodworking machines and ancillary equipment like sharpening machines.
Do you own the plaque?

I have been following a Dependable blade grinder for 40" blades on CL, but it is still a little rich for me yet.

I'd paint the letters and put it on the wall.

I knew somebody here'd know! Thanks for the information. I used to own it... it's since been sold. The buyer was looking for info I didn't have so I figured I'd ask around here... worked out!

And the plaque is cast iron... weighs 25 pounds. I'd love to see the machine it was attached to.

Check Vintagemachinery.org there are very few examples.

Not a clue, but I want it.
Is it for sale?

How big is it? Smaller than a license plate? Looks like a really old Square D logo like the breakers.

That wasn't a lame attempt at humor.
Really, I want it!
For sale??

Its a straight knife grinder.
