Vintage grinder ID

[RKSpeed]

This is for sale locally, just curious if anyone knows what brand? Guessing Black & Decker?

To me it looks like a Kingston-Conley who made them for numerous companies.

The badge on the stand looks like it says Walker Turner. So that is where I would start looking.

The Walker-Turner grinders were made by Kingston-Conley until they (W-T) were bought-out by Rockwell in 1956.

That looks like the one my dad raised me with. I remember that it was a powerful machine. Never looked for a name though.

I had a black & decker that I think was identical to that.

I missed a complete WT with stand a couple years ago and I still regret it.
It was 7 hours away though which is just a bit too far.
Still... nothing has come up since.

I do have a vintage SKIL grinder looks like RK Speeds with a blue label. I bought at a auction in 2017 for $5 all it needed was a switch and a cord and the normal paint and wheels another project on the shelf.
