Surface grinder, height gauge and a few other things.

[WestVinTools]

So I went to pick up a heavy duty shelf cabinet for my garage ($60) and walked out with a surface grinder ($200), height gauge ($20), magbase ($20), book ($15), Henry Disston square (free).

Couple questions. What make is the surface grinder and height gauge (Fowler?) ?

Tried looking on Google but couldn't find that particular one, only similar looking ones.

Hope I did good and didn't overpay.

Almost looks more like a tool and cutter grinder than a surface grinder, but what do I know.

Didnt find much either although VintageMachinery turned up this from 1956-58

Even if it's a tool cutter grinder and not a surface grinder, that was a heck of a haul for a great price!

It looks similar to this eagle knee style surface grinder. But maybe someone else will have a definitive answer....

It looks like the pattern that started with Norton and B&S in the 1940s before B&S changed their format completely. It looks like a very nice machine! Very nice find!
