Help identify bench grinder

[JReyn]

Bought this 6" grinder today off Facebook. It reads Pacific on the label but the rest is hard to read. It looks like model E-B-7 1/2 HP 5.5 Amps. Also at bottom of tag it reads Alloy steel and metal company Los Angelas CA. It takes about 3 second to get to full RPM and almost 2 minutes to come to a stop once the power is cut. Seems really heavy duty and very quiet. The only other pic i found on the internet was an older Baldor that says it was made in the 50s? That's the 3rd pic but the construction looks the same. Anyone tell me what i have here?

alloy steel and metals sold the army $10000 of grinders in 1951
there was a pacific something company out of LA that sold grinders and I think motors inthe late 20s. I cant seem to find the reference, but I did see a 300+ lb pedastel grinder from them on craigslist awhile back

Baldor made grinder for other companies in those years. The grinder shape and name plate is the style of the early Baldors. But the tool rest is a little different. I have a early Skil labeled bench grinder that is a Baldor. What is really odd is it had matching Skil labeled lighted eye shields the were made by Kingston-Conley.

Thanks, it definitely is better than the 3/4hp 8” China version it replaced. It weighs at least 1.5-2x more. For 60.00 I’m not complaining.
