old/early Hall valve grinder

[DixieLee24]

I just bought a handheld manual Hall Valve-Grinder with a wooden handle attached to a leather pull strap. I think that this is one of their earliest models. It does not have a model number. It does say, HALL VALVE GRINDER PATENT PENDING THE HALL MFG. CO. TOLEDO, OH USA. Just wondering if anyone is familiar with this tool? Thanks

I know people called them Hall-Toledo valve seat grinders and once in a while they come up on ebay but main problem they were really slow and many moving parts compared to regular valve seat gear like B&D or Sioux or Lee. They also went out of business a long time ago so unless some guy has parts only stones from some suppliers but probably pilots and any repair parts will be a no

Okay thank you. I am in touch with Hall-Toledo up in Ohio and will let it be known when and if I find out anything new.

I like you see they still list a new grinder I was told by somebody they went away but I see the web site also so let us know what you find out.
