•    I just added an antique grinder station to my little machine shop . I think they are both Ernst Plank pieces , so they must date back to the 1930's . Here are some pictures .

• Nice addition to your colorful workshop!
  
  The tin grinder is model #401/2

  and the cast pewter grinder is model #402,

  both shown in the 1925 catalog.
  
  Last Easter weekend I just restored the follower of both, a cast composite pewter grinder with tin metal hood and water cup
  As this one is a rare hybrid between the early pewter and late cast iron models, I unfortunately have no pic or model # of it...

  At the right side in the pic you see grinder #1006 of 1903-12, the left side shows eccentric press #1008 of 1906-15 and polisher #404 of 1910s-20s

• I own two of those PLANK eccentric presses, one detailled and one basic variation w/o oilers and a simple die tool...
